Further north, Glen Ellen in Fayston boasts the greatest vertical drop in the East, 2645 feet, and will open its second season with a new double chair, making three in all. The upper half of a new FIS-calibre downhill trail has also been completed, with a maximum gradient of 80 degrees. A new mid-mountain restaurant has also been added this year. Madonna Mountain (formerly Smuggler's Notch) near Stowe has replaced two with a new 5700-foot Hall double chair to augment last year's 6600 foot chair. A new glant sialoza trail has been out which drops...

The upper half of a new FIS-calibre downhill trail has also been completed, with a maximum gradient of 30 degrees. A new mid-mountain restaurant has also been added this year. Madonna Mountain (formerly Smuggler's Notch) near Stowe has replaced two pomas with a new 5700-foot Hall double chair to augment last year's 6600 foot chair. A new giant slalom trail has been cut which...
Omega-Minus Signature. The unknown particle predicted by the eightfold way was named omega minus, and both CERN Laboratory in Geneva and Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island started elaborate campaigns to find it. Brookhaven's apparatus was built around the 33-bev (billion electron volt) Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, and it used a line of magnets and electrostatic separators 400 ft. long to isolate negative K-mesons. Ten of the K-mesons were allowed to enter Brookhaven's 80-in. liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber every 2½ seconds, and pictures were taken of the results. Two pictures...
Working with Brookhaven's powerful Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, they slammed a stream of antiprotons into a bubble chamber full of liquid hydrogen. As the antiprotons hit the stationary hydrogen nuclei-which were also protons-they annihilated each other, giving off energy and filling the 20-in. chamber with a sudden splash of new, extremely short-lived particles...
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...
