  1. Cooperation between the Russian Federation and the European Union:LARGEHADRONCOLLIDER Anastasia Andrianova Ilia Dorchanov Department of Comparative Political Studies

  2. STRUCTURE: • Discovery of Higgs boson • Background • Fears and rumors around the LHC • Administrative aspects • Russia’s contribution to the LHCresearch work

  3. Background • Large Hadron Collider (LHC) • went live on 10 September 2008 • runs for 27km (16.5m) in a circular tunnel 100 metres • weighs more than 38,000 tonnes • produces about 5.8 quadrillion particle collisions each year • was built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries • over 700 Russian physicists from 12 research institutes are involved

  4. Discoveryof Higgs boson • Prime goal - to find the Higgs boson, an elementary particle. • was announced at CERN, 4 July • 2012. • has been called "monumental“.

  5. Fears and rumors around the LHC • ran at 7 trillion electron-volts (TeV) in the year 2012, the highest energy level ever. •  1 TeV - about the energy of motion of a flying mosquito. • the machine could produce a black hole that could eat the Earth or something equally catastrophic.

  6. Administrative aspects • Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire • CERN is run by 21 European member states (each has two official delegates) Five countries has observer status:

  7. RUSSIA’S CONTRIBUTION • LHC has cost 6 billionSwiss francs. Russia’s contribution is over 150 million francs. • 250 scientists at one time and about a thousand annually present Russian scientific community in CERN(the whole number of researchers - about 11 thousand)

  8. RUSSIA’S CONTRIBUTION

  9. THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION
