...meager prospect of reward left no room for fun or friendship last week as eyes watered and red noses ran from the cold. Bev Hanson hesitated for one nervous afternoon in the second round and dropped to fourth, came back next day to grab the lead. She finished with a 72-hole total of 299, coasting home in her dandy underwear to her first Titleholders title, five strokes in front of Texan Betty Dodd, eight ahead of Defender Berg...
...Dubna near Moscow has gone into operation and is generating protons with 8.3 billion electron-volts of energy. This beats the 6 billion-volt Bevatron at Berkeley, Calif, by a comfortable margin, and the Russian scientists are confident that their machine will soon reach its designed power of ten Bev...
...Russians will hold the high-energy title until the completion, probably in 1960, of the 25-Bev machine now under construction at Brookhaven. It will be big (840 ft. in diameter), but its greatly increased power will be made possible by a new principle called "strong focusing." It will need 500 tons of copper and only a small amount of steel...
...magnetic fields. Dr. Lawrence W. Jones of the University of Michigan and Tihiro Ohkawa of Tokyo University, told their colleagues about a new and cataclysmic kind of atom smasher. The most powerful one in operation at present is the Bevatron at Berkeley (6 billion electron volts), and a 25-Bev monster is under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. These are rather puny little gadgets, think Jones and Ohkawa. The way to get real power is to force head-on collisions between high-speed particles...
...Berkeley scientists turned their 6.2 Bev. proton beam on a copper target. From it emerged a secondary beam of sub-atomic debris (protons, neutrons, mesons, etc.) which presumably contained antiprotons. To prove that it did, the scientists shot the secondary beam into a "maze" (of magnetic fields and mass-or speed-measuring instruments) which only a particle with the anti-proton's properties could pass through. A few of the particles did pass through it, leaping every hurdle and checking in triumphantly at the far end. None lived very long, of course. After a fraction of a second, each...
