Russian Deputy PM Says Cooperation with CERN Important

RIA Novosti, PUBLISHED April 23, 2013

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets visited on Friday the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva and confirmed Russia’s intention to cooperate with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN.

Last December Russia submitted an application for the membership in CERN.

“We confirm all our decisions, moving forward step by step and our cooperation is absolutely progressive… Today we set the task on the associate membership and set no other tasks,” she said after visiting CERN.

“Membership in CERN will open for Russia a broader access both to participation in projects and to results of these projects, as well as to all educational programs,” she added.

The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s biggest particle accelerator launched in 2008, was built with the prime goal of either finding the Higgs boson, whose existence was predicted by British physicist Peter Higgs in the 1960s, or disproving it, possibly undermining the Standard Model.

Last month researchers operating the LHC particle accelerator confirmed that a particle discovered in July 2012 is indeed the so-called Higgs boson, a key element in scientists' theories explaining the makeup of all the matter around us.

Not quite so. The authors of the concept, which was difficult to be realized in practice, turned to a clearer concept of a standing wave reactor (TP-1) that in principle allows finding the solution to the tasks stated for TWRs.
