...million, 800-Bev accelerator for Brookhaven National Laboratory. Design studies should begin, say the scientists, even before the first accelerator is finished...
...Brookhaven-Syracuse University study last summer in Geneva. Last week experimental teams on opposite coasts of the U.S. confirmed its existence. They used two of the world's largest atom smashers, Brookhaven's Synchrotron and Berkeley's Bevatron, to fire negatively charged K mesons into a hydrogen bubble chamber. After the mesons collided with hydrogen nuclei, the scientists found two K mesons that were the decay products of an even more ephemeral particle. It has a life span of just 2/1 0,000th of a billionth of a billionth of a second-or just long enough...
Other speakers during the colloquy will include Professor Paul A. Weiss of the Rockefeller Institute, Professor Samuel A. Goudsmit of the Brookhaven National Laboratories, Professor Francis O. Schmitt of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Professor Harold G. Cassidy of Yale...

Obscure Elements. With the aid of atomic physicists, fragile specimens can now be subjected to chemical analysis without destroying them. At Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, scientists have been bombarding archaeological finds with neutrons. Elements in pieces of pottery, for example, are thus made temporarily radioactive; and by observing their radioactivity scientists are able to identify them down to the tiny traces of rare elements. At Oxford and the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, physicists have bombarded archaeological specimens with electrons, causing the specimens to give off X rays. By running a spectrum analysis on the X rays...
