Number 15 (Story #6), January 3, 1991 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein SSC DETECTORS MAY COST HALF A BILLION DOLLARS. Like the Superconducting Super Collider itself, the detector facilities where collisions occur will be quite expensive and employ armies of physicists and technicians. Three proposals for two available slots have been examined but not yet judged. The prospective leaders of these collaborations are Sam Ting of MIT, George Trilling of Berkeley, and Michael Marx of Stony Brook. (Science, December 21, 1990.)
