...small groups of protons around the magnetic race track, but already their energy at the end of their run is 4.7 billion electron-volts. This is twice the energy of the second largest accelerator, the cosmotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island. It is the energy of middle sized cosmic-ray particles, which have been accelerated, perhaps for billions of years, by unknown forces in space. Each proton at the end of its journey has a mass six times as great as when it started...
There is good reason to believe that proton projectiles of much greater energy will be needed before the mystery of the nucleus can be cleared up. At present only the primary cosmic rays (which have to be sought by rockets or balloons) can supply such energies, but the new accelerator will shoot beams of "primaries" right into the scientists' instruments...
Died. Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan, 85, Nobel Prizewinning physicist (1923), longtime head of California Institute of Technology (1921-46); in San Marino, Calif. Physicist Millikan isolated the electron and measured its charge (for which he got the Nobel Prize), investigated the character and origin of cosmic rays. Deeply religious, he never doubted that "the Creator is still...
