The Cambridge Electron Accelerator, financed and sup- ported by the Atomic Energy Commission, and built and jointly controlled by Harvard and M.I.T., is powerful enough to create all the known particles and anti-particles in quantities sufficient to make possible the accurate measurement of their properties. At the moment it is the most powerful instrument...
