...STONY BROOK, located within 30 miles of famed Brookhaven National Laboratories, is the most exciting campus in the system. So new that the ivy is only about six inches up the red brick walls, it expects to challenge any university in physics research within a few years. Its $30,000-a-year President Toll is a theoretical physicist from the University of Maryland; his reputation-plus a $45,000-a-year salary-recently lured Nobel Physicist C. N. Yang to Stony Brook to head an Institute of Theoretical Physics that will have a $2,700,000 nuclear lab. Toll...
When the bubble chamber is reassembled, it may be offered to either Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, Long Island, the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago or the Stanford Linear Accelerator, all of which could house it safely, Livingstone said...
...detect the existence of the anti-deuteron, Dr. Leon M. Lederman and his group worked with a device called a mass spectrometer at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. Using Brookhaven's 33 billion electron volt synchrotron, they bombarded a target of beryllium with a beam of high-energy protons. This resulted in a debris of. particles that sped through the 300-ft. magnetic field of the spectrometer, where they could be sorted and analyzed. When 16 giant, 20-ton magnets were set to pass positively charged particles, the apparatus made careful readings of the flight path, momentum...
...promising solution to that formidable problem is being tested by medical-research teams at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island and at the University of Washington in Seattle. The doctors insert two plastic tubes in the patient's forearm, one into an artery and the other into a vein. With the patient's own heart serving as the pump, his blood is led into a loop of tubing and carried behind a lead shield. There, it is subjected to massive bombardment-with isotopic radiation by Dr. Eugene P. Cronkite at Brookhaven, or with X rays...
...many universities operate the new accelerator, as in the case at Brookhaven, Ramsey believes that scientists can more easily pool their information. The Brookhaven Accelerator was built by the government and is now run by nine universities including Harvard...
