According to Livingston, the electron accelerator is not properly an "accelerator" in the normal sense of the word. An experiment may start with electrons at .99 the speed of light and increase the velocity to .99999 the speed of light--not too great a change in percentage terms. What does increase dramatically is the energy (and the mass). At the beginning of an experiment, a beam of electrons may have a rest energy of 1/2 million electron volts; it is directed through a linear "pre-accelerator" (or "injector") where the energy is increased to 20 million electron volts. Then...
...constant and the magnetic field is increased in order to keep the electrons in a stable path. The cyclotron, Preston says, unlike the C.E.A., can properly be called an "accelerator," for the velocity at the end of the experiment is still "only a few tenths of the speed of light...
...order has put the Commissioner and the Governor in a very bad light and his profoundly offended countless enlightened citizens, including Catholics. Such an order might have seemed right to the party then in power when some Calvinists were burning Unitarians, some Catholics were killing off the Protestant majority in Poland, and some Congregationalists were hounding, flogging, and hanging Quakers...
