This possibility exists since one Council incumbent, former Mayor Edward J. Sullivan, is vacating his seat. It is conceded, however, that his brother, amiable former Rep. Walter J. Sullivan, will take the seat, and perhaps even top the ticket. This group of Sullivanites have consistently led the anti-Harvard, anti-CCA factions of the city...
Chamberlain, by means of his work at California, proved the existence of the anti-proton, a sub-atomic particle with a charge opposite to a normal proton. Using California's huge particle accelerator, the 39-year-old scientist worked with Segre and developed new methods to prove the existence of the particle...
...particle accelerator was a completely indispensable tool in our research," Chamberlain noted. Only one particle per 30,000 was an anti-proton, however, and the California scientists had to develop a complicated array of bending magnets, magnetic focusing lenses, and detectors to spot the rare particle...
Originally made in 1955, the discovery by Chamberlain and Segre proved the theory that all particles have anti-matter counterparts. When a particle of anti-matter collides with normal matter, a tremendous quantity of energy is released, primarily in the form of other subatomic particles...
...There is no direct practical application at the present time, however, for anti-matter," Chamberlain pointed out, "but the discovery will help us a great deal in understanding nuclear structure." Although no important discoveries have been made with the anti-proton in the last three years, he felt confident "important discoveries" would be made in the near future...
