No Sign Found in Search For Neutral Tachyons

JUN 01, 1970

DOI: 10.1063/1.3022165

Barbara Goss Levi

While theorists debate whether tachyons are forbidden or compulsory (PHYSICS TODAY, December 1969, page 47), the search continues for these faster‐than‐light particles. Last year Torsten Alväger, Michael N. Kreisler and Michael B. Davis failed to find evidence for charged tachyons. Now Charles Baltay, Gerald Feinberg and Noel K. Yeh of Columbia, and Ralph Linsker of the Goddard Space Flight Center, have set an upper limit on the production of neutral tachyons.
