Atoms formed by the combination of californium and boron bounced off the nickel foil, were slowed by collision with helium atoms and were picked up by a copper conveyor belt. At intervals, an automatic device moved the copper belt a short distance, bringing the newly created atoms close to a series of silicon radiation detectors. About five times each hour the detectors signaled the capture of an alpha particle charged with 8,600,000 electron volts of energy...
