...nation's cartel office. Following the tracks laid down by pioneers like Rail4Chem, more than 20 such private operators now run freight services - and some local passenger trains - in Germany, and other companies have sprung up to provide them with services. Included is a company based in Mannheim called MEV which rents out drivers and train personnel - some of whom have been trained to operate in more than one country. Since it started in 1999, MEV's staff has grown from 50 people to 250, and sales have tripled to 325 million. "It's an incredibly exciting market," says Klaus...
...showed tracks in the LH2 that proved to be the "signatures" of omega-minus particles. They all curved just right and took off in the right directions. Careful calculations with a computer gave the mass of the new-found particles as 1,686 plus or minus 12 mev. This was almost uncanny agreement with the predictions of the eightfold...
...example, most of the energy radiated in the C.E.A. occurs while the particles are increasing in energy from 5 to 6 bev. At 6 Bev, the electrons are losing 4.5 mev per turn. But should the energy of the particles be increased by only one-sixth, to 7 Bev, this energy loss would nearly double. As a result, power requirements for the accelerator would double-and in some systems quadruple...
High Temperature. If a small, pure-fusion bomb could be built to work with out a fission detonator, theorists believe that it would send its neutrons farther than the destructive reach of its heat or blast. Starting with 14 MEV (million electron volts) of energy, the neutrons would traverse about a half-mile of air and still have enough punch to kill humans protected by several feet of earth or concrete. There would be blast and heat too, but if the N-bomb was just the right size and was exploded at just the right height above the ground...
...magnets runs a ring-shaped metal tube 7 in. wide and 3 in. high, which is pumped free of air. Bursts of protons (nuclei of hydrogen atoms) are shot into the tube by a smaller accelerator, and the magnets guide them around its half-mile circuit. Entering with 50 Mev (million electron-volts) of energy, the protons are grabbed by quickly shifting electrical forces and accelerated to their fantastic speeds...
