...physicists fear that they do not exist. They have not been detected and until recently there was little hope of detecting them. But two developments have changed the situation. Nuclear reactors produce floods of neutrinos (if they exist), and such modern detecting devices as the photomultiplier tube and the liquid scintillator are about 1,000,000 times as sensitive as their predecessors...

...Cowan Jr., gathered an erudite task force at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and went hunting neutrinos. Theory told them that if a neutrino hits a proton, as may happen on very rare occasions, the reaction should yield a neutron and a positron (positive electron). If this happens in a liquid that scintillates in the proper manner, both particles will give flashes of light...

...Reines and Cowan built the world's biggest and most complex scintillation counter. They filled a 28-in. cylinder with toluene, a scintillating liquid that contains lots of protons. In the toluene, they dissolved a small amount of a cadmium compound. Then they surrounded the cylinder with 90 photomultiplier tubes hooked up to respond to pairs of flashes caused by positrons and neutrons...

Despite the overall decline, there are many businessmen and economists who are against any emergency measures, such as public works, as long as construction is at record levels, individual liquid assets are at a peak of $300 billion ($6,500 for every family in the U.S.), and industry is expanding as fast as ever. They agree with Prudential Insurance Co.'s President Carrol M. Shanks, who thinks that the greatest danger to the economy "by all odds" is still inflation. The antirecession moves of 1949 needed time to stimulate the economy. In 1954, the antirecession medicines already given have...
