...C.E.A. is actually two accelerating devices--a linear accelerator, which feeds electrons into the rings, and the circular "race track" itself. After injection, the electrons whirl around the circular orbit through a slender evacuated stainless-steel tube, The tube lies sandwiched between the jaws of 48 C-shaped magnets, each 12 feet long and weighing six tons. These magnets provide the transverse force which keeps the electrons in a circular path...
Technicians speak of an electron "beam," but it is incorrect to think off the machine as producing a continuous flow of high-energy electrons. In reality, the electrons spurt into the ring from the linear accelerator in bunches of 100 million at the rate of 60 bunches per second. At 16 places in the ring, there are radio-frequency powered acceleration cavities. Each time the electron bunch passes through a cavity, its energy increases. The electron pulses thus receive discrete "kicks" of energy as they orbit, until they have finally reached the energy level desired for any particular experiment...
When planning for the accelerator begain in 1954, the 11 million dollar anticipated outlay by the AEC was unusually large. It is worth nothing, however, that last spring, just as Cambridge accelerator started operations, the government approved an expenditure of 114 million to build the two-mile Linear Accelerator near Stanford University in Palo Alto, California...
Baschet's instruments are not electronically amplified, but they produce a moaning tumult of sound that is roughly Lasry-Baschet's idea of what modern music should be. "Conceptions aren't linear any more," says Composer Lasry. "Not like an onion, where you can peel off one orderly layer after the other. Our search is nothing but an attempt to get through music what we hear in life...
Boccaccio '70 is an erotic Italian film, though scarcely a linear descendant of Boccaccio, 1313-1375. Curvilinear stars Anita Ekberg, Romy Schneider and Sophia Loren lose nothing in translation...
