...hearing will determine the need for building an accelerator generating 200 billion electronic volts, six times the voltage of the Brookhaven plant on Long Island, N.Y., the most powerful accelerator now in operation...
...Dwight Eisenhower's Atoms for Peace plan. Adrian S. Fisher, U.S. delegate to the 17-nation disarmament conference, explained that I.A.E.A. inspection of Rowe's reactor will be a permanent arrangement "whether or not other states reciprocate." Fisher pointed out that three smaller U.S. reactors-two at Brookhaven, N.Y., and one at Piqua, Ohio-have been under I.A.E.A. surveillance since 1962. Said Fisher: "The U.S. does not believe that opening these reactors to international inspection is a derogation of its national sovereignty, nor is the safeguard system onerous...
...esoteric world of theoretical physics went into spasms of enthusiasm last week when Brookhaven National Laboratory announced the identification of a new elementary particle. It is not the biggest particle known or the smallest, and it lives only one ten-billionth of a second. But physicists all over the world were stirred up because it has almost precisely the mass that was predicted for it by long-range theory. It was rather as if Columbus, sailing across the Atlantic, had really found Japan just where he thought it would...
Omega-Minus Signature. The unknown particle predicted by the eightfold way was named omega minus, and both CERN Laboratory in Geneva and Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island started elaborate campaigns to find it. Brookhaven's apparatus was built around the 33-bev (billion electron volt) Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, and it used a line of magnets and electrostatic separators 400 ft. long to isolate negative K-mesons. Ten of the K-mesons were allowed to enter Brookhaven's 80-in. liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber every 2½ seconds, and pictures were taken of the results. Two pictures...
...Long Island's Brookhaven National Laboratory, Physicist Raymond Davis Jr. is designing one of the most extraordinary instruments known to modern science. When completed, it will be a swimming pool full of cleaning fluid, and will be installed in a deep mine...
