Since Nasser is not a man to tolerate such defiance, Cairo is guessing that the house-cleaning in Syria is not yet finished...
Once the electrons have been accelerated or "ponderated," the aim is to direct a beam into the experimental area where measurements can be made of the unusual properties and inter-actions. One method already devised is to place a target in the part of the electron beam; this will transform the electrons into X-rays of very high energy. Because they are uncharged, these rays will not be deflected by the magnetic field of the accelerator and will continue on a straight tangential line into the experimental area. Physicists would also like to be able to deflect a beam...
These encounters gave evidence of a great reservoir of good feeling towards America and Americans existing among the younger generation.
