...detect the existence of the anti-deuteron, Dr. Leon M. Lederman and his group worked with a device called a mass spectrometer at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. Using Brookhaven's 33 billion electron volt synchrotron, they bombarded a target of beryllium with a beam of high-energy protons. This resulted in a debris of. particles that sped through the 300-ft. magnetic field of the spectrometer, where they could be sorted and analyzed. When 16 giant, 20-ton magnets were set to pass positively charged particles, the apparatus made careful readings of the flight path, momentum...
...early-morning fire which broke out Thursday in the Cambridge Electron Accelerator is expected to delay research were for two months. The accelerator owned and operated jointly by Harvard M.I.T...
...Army's new night peeper leaves no such signature. It needs only the faint light that comes from the moon, stars or sky glow, which is never entirely absent. This light, bouncing off targets, is focused on a semitransparent screen at the front end of an extremely sensitive electron tube. The screen is photoemissive-it gives off electrons when struck by the faintest light. These photoelectrons are then speeded up by high electrical charges so that when they hit a phosphor (luminescent) screen in the tube, they make a much brighter image. The process is repeated three times, until...
Promoted to assistant professors of Physics are Louis N. Hand, who has investigated the properties of the nucleus revealed by electron scattering, and Joseph L. Snider, who has done research on the magnetic properties of the nitrogen nucleus. Hand, an Instructor since 1962, holds the B.A. (1955) from Swarthmore and the Ph.D. (1962) from Stanford. Snider, an instructor since 1961, holds the B.A. (1956) from Amherst and the Ph.D. (1961) from Princeton...
...something to be shrugged off lightly. Alumni support has given Harvard the financial endowment that bolsters its independence and academic freedom. If Harvard should alienate its alumni, it would become dependent upon government funds which might limit its freedom of inquiry and expression. Government controls on the Cambridge Electron Accelerator indicate the dangers of government largesse...
