...suspected that top quarks are routinely produced by the powerful collider at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago. So far, however, a thicket of more ordinary particles has concealed them from view. But the top may not elude discovery much longer. In late October, researchers at Fermilab's Collider Detector found a provocative set of tracks hinting that a top may have briefly materialized, then vanished like a Halloween ghost. The tantalizing event was reported at a conference held at the facility in mid-November. Since then, physicists have talked of little else...
Since 1990, he has been associate department head of the Collider Detector at Fermi, where he has worked since...
Huth and Franklin have collaborated on a number of projects involving the Collider Detector at Fermi. They met in 1981 while working as graduate students at the Stanford Linear Accelerator...
Ever since these vast comet nurseries were first proposed four decades ago, the only evidence for them has been indirect and theoretical. At last there is something concrete. A tiny reddish spot of light recorded on a sensitive electronic detector in Hawaii last month appears to be the first component of the Kuiper belt ever observed. The body, known for now as 1992 QB1, is about 200 km (120 miles) across, and a preliminary calculation puts it at more than 5.1 billion km (3.2 billion miles) away. That doesn't necessarily make it the most remote object in the solar...
Soren's attire is a far cry from typicalreporters' garb: she wore black pants, black bootsand a floppy printed blouse with floppy sleevesand rufles. (Her unprofessional appearance got herstopped by a security guard at the Astrodomeentrance; the guard gave her a special once-overwith a hand-held metal detector...
