...million-dollar bubble chamber of the Cambridge Electron Accelerator--considered by many scientists the heart of its operation--may not be used again unless the CEA obtain funds for a new building to house...
JULY 6--An explosion and three-alarm fire rips through the experimental hall of the Cambridge Electron Accelerator, injuring eight Harvard and M.I.T. scientists and technicians and causing at least $1 million in damage. The explosion blew the roof off the circular experimental hall and severely damaged the bubble chamber then being filled with 100 gallons of liquid hydrogen...
...videcon tube, much like a standard TV camera tube, "sees" the picture or other photographable object. The tube stores the image in the form of a pattern of varying intensities of light and dark. This pattern is then scanned by an electron beam, which registers the value of the light intensities, from white to grey to black. The electronic signal is next transmitted by radio or ordinary telephone line to a receiving screen...
...Physical Review Letters, Reines reported that he and a team of Case Institute and South African scientists detected seven natural neutrinos-not many, but a hopeful beginning. These neutrinos, each of which registered energies well in excess of 10 billion electron volts, presumably were produced by the interaction of primary cosmic rays with the earth's atmosphere. Except for their superhigh energies, the natural neutrinos appeared to be about the same as those created...
...programmed to take one picture every 48 seconds. Each picture was made up of 200 lines-compared with 525 lines on commercial TV screens. And each line was made up of 200 dots. The pictures were held on the tube for 25 seconds while they were scanned by an electron beam that responded to the light intensity of each dot. This was translated into a numerical code with shadings running from zero for white to 63 for deepest black...
