...archaeologist's kit, there are more than a dozen other methods that allow him to date the objects he unearths. By measuring the electron emissions from reheated pottery with extremely sensitive instruments, scientists are able to determine when the pottery was first fired. This technique, called thermoluminescence, was used to date Greek pot shards from the Agora, near Athens, back to the 9th century...
They found their answer in the enormous alternating gradient synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. That mighty machine can spin protons up to the energy of 33 billion electron-volts, bounce them off targets and produce all sorts of atomic debris-including neutrinos. Physicists figured that any new type neutrinos created by this monstrous slingshot should have as much as i billion volts of energy. They would not be nearly so numerous as the neutrinos flooding out of a nuclear reactor, but their high energy should allow them many more ways of interacting with matter; as a result...
Strauch will continue his research at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator when the $11 million plant goes into operation next fall...
Other points of interest during the term included the opening of the $11.5 Cambridge Electron Accelerator. whose main component is a doughnut-shaped piece of machinery 240 feet in diameter. The Atomic Energy Commission financed a large portion of the work, along with Harvard and several other participating Boston Universities. Miss Sweden paid Cambridge a visit, and ended up on a date with one of the undergraduates, Jim Ullyot. And Harvard and Radcliffe continue their gradual merger. There were two key steps: First, the Radcliffe Graduate School of Arts and Sciences was absorbed into the Harvard GSAS, Second, though...
