...actual experimentation, the electron beam will be aimed at a protonrich liquid hydrogen target. The electrons will be scattered as they emerge from the target. Scientists hope that close study of the scattering pattern may yield clues to the internal composition of the proton, which is no longer considered an indivisible particle but rather a composite of smaller bodies...
...this second experiment the beam will be used to create, through bombardment of a special target, a stream of high energy photons. The photons, in turn, will be directed into a hydrogen bubble chamber. Interaction of the photons with the hydrogen nuclei will produce strange particles. These particles will leave a track of bubbles in the hydrogen, and in this way can be observed and studied...
...side of the experimental hall, scientists have constructed one of the most important pieces of apparatus to be used in the C.E.A.'s experimental program: a liquid helium cryostat. This device will cool and liquify gases, principally hydrogen, for beam targets and bubble chambers. The bubble chambers are large jars of liquid hydrogen, and are used as tracking devices. Many short-lived, invisible particles leave a track of bubbles as they travel through the hydrogen. These tracks can be photographed and later studied...
According to Walker Sullivan of the New York Times, the idea of he forthcoming explosion, we read, came from two physicists at the University of Minnesota back in 1958. They proposed that a hydrogen bomb be exploded inside the Van Allen radiation. "This would contort the earth's magnetic field and dump particles it had. The particles would plunge into the atmosphere, producing spectacular auroral displays." "It might be amusing," they wrote," to end the international Geophysical year by destroying some of the radiation field first discovered during the I.G.Y...
...scientists checked their theory by searching for some other source of the all-important electrons. Under experimental conditions, they tried hydrogen gas-a rich source of electrons itself-and discovered that it did the job perfectly. For the first time, man had triggered photosynthesis without using light...
