...Bev. into Matter. Last week a team of physicists at the University of California told how they created antiprotons artificially and kept them alive long enough to identify them. Drs. Owen Chamberlain, Emilio Segre, Clyde Wiegand and Thomas Ypsilantis worked with Berkeley's Bevatron, a particle accelerator that was built by the Atomic Energy Commission for just such jobs. It can shoot a proton so fast that it carries 6.2 Bev. (billion electron volts) of energy. Physicists had figured that when a proton of this power hits a neutron, it will create a new proton and an antiproton...
...audience arrives (babies may be left in special nurseries known to the Graham staff as "bawl rooms"), Choir Leader Cliff Barrows is warming up the singers. Song books are passed around to the crowd; then Barrows invites the audience to sing, swinging a glittering trombone; Bass-Baritone Bev Shea goes into action with a few oldtime-religion songs, and the collection and an invocation by a local cleric follow. Meanwhile Billy Graham sits on the rostrum, head in hand, meditating...
Other canners besides Can-a-Pop are invading the fast-growing market. Bev-Rich Inc., backed by the makers of Valley Forge beer, has four flavors on sale in the East, expects to sell 2,000.000 cases the first year. Canada Dry is test-marketing canned Spur cola in the Phila- delphia area. In Rochester and Syracuse, N.Y., Pabst Brewing Co.'s soft-drink division launched a singing commercial campaign for "Tasty Tap-a-Cola in-the flat-top can." White Rock Corp. is selling canned root beer, lemon-lime and black-cherry pop in Los Angeles. In Chicago...
Shields Needed. When the bevatron is finally operating at its design energy, 6.25 bev, 20 swarms of 100 million protons each will burst from its chamber every minute. No one knows exactly how dangerous they will be. The scientists are gingerly observing the first small pulses to see how they should place their thick concrete shields...
...From bev, scientists' shorthand for billion electron-volts. * By the Einstein principle that mass increases with speed...
