...conception of the structure of the universe may result from the discovery of the anti-proton, I. I. Rabi, Nobel-prize physicist and 1955 Morris Loeb Lecturer, said yesterday...
...were formed when neutrons from the explosion hit atoms of uranium 238 and were captured by its nucleus. In the case of Element 99, the U-238 captured 15 neutrons and emitted seven beta particles (electrons). Each beta particle emitted meant that a captured neutron had changed into a proton. So the U-238, which had 92 protons and 146 neutrons, turned into Element 99 with 99 protons and 154 neutrons. To form Element 100 (100 protons and 155 neutrons), the U-238 captured 17 neutrons and lost eight beta particles. The scientists suggested that Element 99 be named einsteinium...
...partner-son, Peter Steiger, were busy checking blueprints for a mammoth Steiger-designed atomic laboratory near Geneva. Commissioned by the twelve-nation European Council for Nuclear Research, the laboratory will cover 90 acres, will incorporate such new-age elements as a synchrocyclotron and a 25 billion electron-volt proton-synchrotron (TIME...
...believes that it hit an ordinary proton in the aluminum wrapping of the film pack and annihilated not only itself but the earthly matter in its target as well, turning all of their mass into energy...
...times the energy of the particles shot out by the University of California's powerful bevatron, and 50 million times the energy of a splitting uranium atom in an Abomb. The "something," Physicist Schein thought, was most probably an illusive particle called an antiproton (negative proton), which theoretical physicists have long guessed about, but never observed...
