Collisions at high energy
The Tevatron collider at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., flings protons against antiprotons at collision energies adding up to 1.8 trillion electron-volts. Completed last year and billed as the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the collider is starting to provide data for researchers, who sift through the debris from head-on collisions in search of exotic subatomic particles (SN: 9/28/85, p.202; 3/22/86, p.180).
The researchers are looking for evidence of the "top" quark, a rapidly decaying subatomic particle and the only member of the quark family not yet detected. A reported sighting in ...
