...clear enough: a particle must exist that has a negative electric charge and a mass- of 1,676 million electron volts. It should have a life span of one ten-billionth of a second after it is formed, and then decay into a xi particle and a pi-meson...
...stars as intimately as he knew the streets of his own town. One recent night, as he scanned the dark sky, he watched the constellations rise with familiar timing above the eastern horizon; then he gradually turned his telescope on the constellation Hydra. There, three degrees southwest of star Pi, he caught a glimpse of a faint misty object. He did not remember seeing it before. He focused his telescope with extra care and looked again. The misty object was still there. With growing excitement he checked his sky maps. They showed nothing at the location of the misty object...
...said that an Englishman is a gentle man with women and a pirate in business, and a Frenchman a gentleman in business and a pirate with women, to suggest that pi racy is the key to success. Albion is usually represented by an English gentleman who is one of the most delightful creatures the earth has ever seen, in sofar as it is a question of a hurt swallow or a round of golf, but as soon as it is a question of commerce, the mild gentleman may be come a terrible and stubborn clog...
Guilty Particles. Hardly had the neutrino become established as a real particle when physicists noticed that pi mesons (middleweight particles, also called pi-ons, that are created by powerful atom smashers) disintegrate into slightly lighter mu mesons (muons) while an unseen particle carries away part of their energy. At first the physicists assumed that ordinary neutrinos were the guilty particles. Then they began to have their doubts. Maybe another kind of neutrino was stealing the pion's energy. But it had been hard enough to trap regular neutrinos; how were scientists to locate and study an even more evasive...
...predecessor to "Sing Muse" was a musical revue "Voulez-Vous," which played at the Pi Eta Theater in Cambridge in 1960. Despite its short run, "Sing Muse" has brought Segal several offers from Broadway producers for his next play, a musical comedy. After completing work next winter on doctoral thesis, "Theories of Comedy the Renaissance," Segal plans to devote himself to another production...
