A new high‐energy scale?
Physics Today 25 (4), 23–28 (1972);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3070807
Experiments at ultrahigh energies may verify scale invariance, or they may reveal a new substructure leading to fundamental changes in theories of the weak interaction and quantum electrodynamics.
Predictions for superheavy nuclei
Physics Today 25 (4), 30–38 (1972);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3070808
The quest for ever‐heavier nuclei turns to heavy‐ion accelerators that could produce hundreds of excited short‐lived species—and possibly a few, in their ground states, that live for years.
Physicists in industry
Physics Today 25 (4), 42–46 (1972);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3070809
A physicist well matched to his job can expect rewards and satisfaction from an industrial career that are not always available in academic life.
