The Tevatron
Because it produces antiprotons, accelerates them in a ring using superconducting magnets and smashes them into protons, it is now the world's most powerful source of data on elementary particles

The Value of Fundamental Science
Its cost to the taxpayer is only about 5 percent of the cost of applied research and development. Yet it contributes deeply to technology, the education of scientists and the general enrichment of our culture

The Upsilon Particle
Its unexpected discovery as the heaviest particle has prompted physicists to introduce a massive new quark, raising the number of these unobserved elementary subparticles from four to five

The Two-Neutrino Experiment
An account of the heroic experiment, involving a 30-billion-volt accelerator, a 10-ton spark chamber and 45 feet of armor plate, that demonstrated that there is not one kind of neutrino but two
