Franklin and a group of about a hundred other physicists working at Harvard and the Fermilab worked to prove the existence of the last undiscovered quark, the "top" quark, by collecting two years' worth of data from collisions between protons and antiprotons...
...second thought, however, she says she recalls spraying huge "feminist anarchist" signs in red paint over the corridors and basements in Fermilab as an undergraduate...
Physicists think six types of quarks are the building blocks of all the particles within atomic nuclei. They had found the first five by 1977, and now the top quark, the sixth and heaviest, has been identified at Fermilab, near Chicago. It took 440 scientists to spot the top, which disintegrates in an infinitesimal fraction of a second...
...total of 439 physicists from 35 institution and five countries collaborated on the project detailing their triumph in a 152-page paper submitted to the Physical Review journal. The experiment was conducted at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois better known as Fermilab...
Over one year's worth of data was collected from Fermilab's Tevatron the highest energy particle accelerator in the world...
