A double dose of gamma-ray bursts

Article Abstract:

Data from the orbiting Gamma Ray Observatory indicate that astronomical gamma ray bursts, which have been detected since 1973, may fall into two classes. One class has a short duration, under a second, and contains a high proportion of high energy gamma rays. The other class of bursts lasts for tens or hundreds of seconds and contains more low energy gamma rays.

Cornell leads battle of the B factories

Article Abstract:

Cornell University leads the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in a bid for Dept of Energy funds to build the 'B factory' accelerator, which will shed light on anomalies in the Standard Model of physics. Cornell's proposal is less expensive and more daring, but potentially more risky.
