...CEA is convinced that its decision to abandon the chamber, made this week, will not damage the prestige physics research at Harvard...
...Stanley Livingstone, CEA director, said Monday that bubble chambers where will be available to science and graduate students who were using the CEA's. But he emphasized many experiments are conducted shout the bubble chambers -- and the new ways of using the accelerator about it are now being studied. "We will be doing work as important as our search with the bubble chamber, and may be making some breakthroughs," he said...
...chamber was severely damaged in an explosion at the CEA experimental hall July 5 while it was being filled with liquid hydrogen for the first time. It is now being rebuilt in a converted warehouse in Billerica, 25 miles north of Boston. Since hydrogen from the chamber is believed to have triggered the explosion, CEA staff members decided two weeks ago that it would have to be housed in a separate building -- where an accident could be easily controlled -- or not be used...
...Many CEA scientists now believe the explosion was touched up by liquid hydrogen which spilled while being fed into the experimental hall's bubble chamber. The CEA is considering requesting funds for a separate bubble chamber building on the grounds so that an accident would be much less destructive there than in the present hall. The chamber is now being re-assembled but will not be used by the Harvard-M.I.T. experimenters who being work in November...
...safety rules, which will go into effect even though the bubble chamber will not be in use, are still being drafted. Paterson and a special Safety Committee of CEA staff members. They will include restrictions on the amount of fuel that can be used in the hall and on the places where fuel sources can be located, Paterson said...
