...labeled the 17 normal particles. Once they got their huge, high-energy accelerators working in the late 1950s, they matched 16 of these bits of matter with their antiparticle mates. All that remained was the elusive (anti-Xi-zero). In September 1961, a group of Yale University and Brookhaven National Laboratory physicists set out to find...
Working with Brookhaven's powerful Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, they slammed a stream of antiprotons into a bubble chamber full of liquid hydrogen. As the antiprotons hit the stationary hydrogen nuclei-which were also protons-they annihilated each other, giving off energy and filling the 20-in. chamber with a sudden splash of new, extremely short-lived particles...
...verifying the existence of anti-Xi-zero, the Yale-Brookhaven team- completed the alphabet of the first family of subatomic particles. But during their long search, other physicists also were busy. Several new arrangements of fundamental building blocks have already been postulated, and some of them leave gaps that may be filled by still more particles. The long search seems certain to continue...
...million, 800-Bev accelerator for Brookhaven National Laboratory. Design studies should begin, say the scientists, even before the first accelerator is finished...
...million low-energy (12.5 Bev) machine with a high-intensity beam that will contain 100 times as many protons as Brookhaven's present 33-Bev synchrotron. In one year, this massive beam will perform experiments that would require 100 years on Brookhaven's present equipment...
