Yaay Tevatron!
Sub-atomic boffins glimpse four-pack tetraquark
Sub-atomic boffins believe they've found evidence for the existence of a new "tetraquark" particle comprised, as the name suggests, of four quarks. Scientists working on the DZero Experiment, using data collected between 2002 and 2011 by Fermilab's Tevatron collider, sniffed for a postulated particle containing two mesons ( …

the job interview at CEBAF (as it was, before Thos.Jefferson appellation made it easier to spell than continuous electron beam accelerating facility) was much better as it took place in a bowling-alley in Newport News. Unfortunately I had to turn the job-offer down as the local supermarket wouldn't sell me alcohol unless I could show five separate ID documents proving my majority.

Cosmic Sans?
