The SSC: A Machine for the Nineties

Sheldon L. Glashow and Leon M. Lederman
OpenURL
Show Topic
With 30‐erg protons colliding with 30‐erg protons, the Super Collider will help resolve some of the open scientific questions concerning the nature of elementary particles.

Major Facilities for Nuclear Physics

Gordon Baym
OpenURL
Show Topic
Proposed machines such as a multi‐GeV electron accelerator and an ultrarelativistic heavy‐ion collider promise to open new frontiers for the study of nuclei as unique many‐body systems.

Reaching Ignition in the Tokamak

Harold P. Furth
OpenURL
Show Topic
Research can continue the 20‐year trend toward greater plasma confinement times, densities and temperatures, leading to the full set of ignition parameters by the mid‐1990s.

Large Facilities for Condensed‐Matter Science

Martin Blume and David E. Moncton
OpenURL
Show Topic
Because they provide beams for many experiments simultaneously, intense neutron sources and synchrotron radiation sources are becoming exciting multidisciplinary research centers.

Research in Small Groups

Daniel Kleppner
OpenURL
Show Topic
Small‐scale research plays a vital role in advancing physics, in training physicists and in generating new technologies, but we will need a new perspective to judge its needs alongside those for large facilities.
