...generates only about 350 MEV (million electron volts). With this comparatively puny force, it creates mesons, the mysterious particles knocked out of matter by cosmic rays from space. The new cyclotron will give its protons so much energy that they will act like the "primary" cosmic rays themselves, which slam through the earth's atmosphere and plunge deep into the ground. These wild invaders from space have never before been caged in laboratories. No one can guess what awesome things their study may reveal...
