摘要:

Most particle accelerators have been built to perform certain predesignated tasks, sometimes to assist physicists in unfolding nuclear structure or to generate yet a new genus of particles. There is no exception to this convention relative to the special purpose accelerator at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. PHERMEX was designed and built not bv nuclear physicists but by a group whose inherent professional interests lie in fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, and extreme states of matter. These interests have maintained the rigid objectives and provided the purpose and drive to complete this program successfully. PHERMEX is now operating, performing admirably the tasks for which it was designed. Therefore, perhaps it is time to say more about why this machine was built, how it was built, and what is being done with it today.

Socrates:My dear Hippocrates, are you looking for somebody?Hippocrates:Nay, Socrates, because I have already found him; namely, you. I looked for you in many places. At the agora I was told that you had been seen walking here along the river Ilissos. Thus it happened that I came here alter you.

摘要:

The twelfth International Conference on High‐Energy Physics was held at Dubna in the USSR from August 5 through August 12, 1964. This chosen site is approximately seventy miles north of Moscow on the banks of the Volga River. The city of Dubna (with a population of ten to twenty thousand, depending upon whom you talk to) is the home of the 10‐BeV Synchrophasitron, a 700‐MeV synchrocyclotron, and a low‐energy, 3‐meter, heavy‐ion cyclotron. During the weekend of the conference, there was a conducted tour of the laboratory in which the above machines as well as experimental apparatus were viewed. For the less technically inclined, trips to Moscow were available via bus or train (approximately three hours each way). Among the many sites to be seen were the Kremlin, the GUM Department Store, the Pushkin Art Gallery, Moscow University, and the famous Moscow subway system. However, the most enjoyable pastime was to roam the streets of Moscow, camera in hand, seeing the people and thereby gaining a feeling for the daily life in the city. Over‐all, one is impressed by the enormous number of apartment buildings under construction, the efficiency and ornateness of the subways, and the drive and energy of the people. The weather during the conference was cool. Furthermore, its proximity to the Volga, which allowed for a morning or afternoon swim, indeed recommends this area for a conference during the month of August. Most of the participants (numbering in the hundreds, with the Chinese being conspicuously absent) were housed in the Hotel Dubna, which also contained the dining facilities. One must say that our hosts, under the chairmanship of Professor D. I. Blokhintsev, extended themselves in providing for our comfort, our hunger pangs (it took less than one hour per meal), and our entertainment, which involved a memorable boat trip to Kalinin as well as a variety concert of Moscow artists.

摘要:

The seventh Fluctuations in Solids Symposium was held on May 22, 1964, at the University of Minnesota. Organized and hosted by A. van der Ziel and K. M. van Vliet, the informal one‐day meeting again provided a forum for those actively working in the field to discuss recent results and resolve current questions. The previous symposium took place in 1962. This year's session was notable for its richness in diversity, ranging from laser noise to use of noise measurements to determine transistorh‐parameters.

摘要:

The Student Sections program of the American Institute of Physics has been rapidly expanding, reflecting a general growth of interest in physics. There are now 234 Student Sections in colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Through association with their Student Sections, college and university physics majors gain a better understanding of what their life work as physicists will involve and obtain information about graduate‐school requirements and employment opportunities.
