All the U.S. needed was to split the last two singles. But Emerson routed Ralston, and the pressure was on McKinley. He lost the first set to Newcombe, 10-12, bounded back to win the second, 6-2. Again the Texan faltered; again he rallied-from a 0-3 deficit...
At 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 to X-ray the sun.
Rare Reaction. Dr. Davis estimates that about 54 billion solar neutrinos hit each square centimeter (.155 sq. in.) of the earth's surface every second. They have no effect that is normally detectable, but if they happen to collide with atoms of chlorine 37, a small fraction of the...
Backed by funds from the Atomic Energy Commission, Dr. Davis plans to set his 100,000-gal. tank in a mine at least 5,000 ft. deep to protect it from cosmic rays. Only neutrinos will reach the tank's supply of perchlorethy-lene, a cleaning fluid containing about...
First thing the neutrinos will measure is the temperature of the core. Astrophysicists now estimate it at 29 million degrees F., but the neutrino observatory will give a firmer figure because the nuclear reaction that produces solar neutrinos is favored by high temperature. If Dr. Davis counts more neutrinos than...
