...same A.P.S. session when Brookhaven National Laboratory's Dr. G. Kenneth Green proudly reported that the world's biggest atom smasher, the Brookhaven alternating gradient synchrotron, was now in full-scale operation. Costing $31 million, the synchrotron can generate up to 33 or 34 billion electron volts (BEV) by boosting protons through an underground circular metal tube at fantastic speeds...
Much of this is Bev Murphy's doing. In the seven years since he became Campbell boss, one-third of the company's 102 current products have been added to the Campbell line. He was one of the first to sense the housewife's increasing demand for the so-called "convenience" foods. In 1954 Campbell introduced the first frozen soups. After Omaha's C. A. Swanson & Sons brought out the first successful frozen TV Dinner, Murphy recognized a good thing. Campbell bought Swanson's in 1955, has doubled the Swanson line, reduced the cost...
...months the world's most powerful particle accelerator (or atom smasher) was at Geneva, Switzerland, generating a beam of protons with up to 28 Bev (billion electron-volts) of energy. Last week the energy championship came back to the U.S. At Brookhaven National Lab oratory, Long Island, the new alternating gradient synchroton, which scientists call AGS, was kicked up to full power for the first time, generating a proton beam that stayed steady at 30 Bev and hovered for short periods as high as 31 Bev, accelerating particles at rates only a fraction below the 186,300 miles...
...Billion Protons. The Brookhaven AGS delivered its powerful beam with remarkable ease. The scientists adjusted its complex machinery for only nine days before the injected particles reached 30 Bev. Another triumph for Brookhaven is that each pulse of the beam contains 10 billion protons. Some accelerators have pushed their particles to scheduled speed but delivered only a comparative few. The Soviet 10-Bev accelerator at Dubna is apparently plagued with this trouble. U.S. physicists, who would be quick to praise their Russian colleagues if praise were due, estimate that its pulses contain 10 million protons, one-thousandth of the number...
...will be used primarily to explore the intimate nature of matter-a problem that seems to grow more baffling as its outermost fringes are explored. Brookhaven's 30-Bev protons will be shot against other protons, eventually in an 80-in. liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber, the world's largest, which is now being designed. Out of the proton-proton collision will come a weird menagerie of short-lived particles. Many of them will be new to science, and they are almost certain to have properties that no one can imagine today. AGS will reach a long way into...
