INTRODUCTION 1.1.1.History In November 1945 the Swedish Government authorized the Minister of Education to make an investigation as to what researchv/ork should be carried out in the field of atomic energy. For this purpose a special committee, Atomkommittén, was appointed, with effect from December 1945. In 1946 Atomkommitté'n was designated as the advisory board for atomic energy work in Sweden. In 1959 certain functional changes were made and the name was changed to Statens rád for atomforskning (Sv/edish Atomic Research Council). According to the instruction stipulated in June 30, 1959, «he Council allocates the funds provided by the Government to basic research in atomic physics (mainly nuclear physics, particle physics, plasma physics, solid state physics, reactor and neutron physics), nuclear and radiation chemistry, radiation physics, radiation biology and related subjects. The Council also acts as the Sv/edish contact orga- nization for international co-operation in the field of basic nuclear physics. The Council is financed entirely by the Government and, as a Government Agency it is responsible to the Minister of Education. 1.1.2.Main activities Accor'" .ng to the above-mentioned instruction the main activities of the Council are to follow the development within its own field of research and to keep in close contact with research workers and scientific institutions, as well as with commercial and indnHt-rial or^wiiwuhiOUR vjlUn-n -Hie, fi^iris covered by the Council's activities, to support research projects which are of special importance for scientific development and, when necessary, initiate such projects, t£ allocate grants to institutions and scientists for the purchase of instruments or other materials, or for the remuneration to scientific or other assistants, or for the defrayal of costs for research work, such as travelling costs, loss of income, etc or fer living allowancec, to promote and take the initiative in the co-operation with other countries, especially Nordic ones, within the research field of the Council, _to support the publication of results of scientific research and the writing of text-books within the research field of the Council. 1.1.3.Organization The Swedish Atomic Researc.h'Couneil consists of the President and eleven members. The President of the Council is appointed by the Government. The Secretary, also appointed by the Government, is a member of the Council by virtue of his office. Six members are elected by the Faculties of Natural Sciences at the Universities of Uppsala, Lund and Stockholm, by the Board of the Research Institute of Natio- nal Defence, by the Board of the Swedish Atomic Energy Company and, jointly, by the Faculties of the Royal Institute of Technology in ' Stockholm and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. The remaining four members are appointed by the Government according to proposals made by the Council. The term of office for a member of the Council is three years. ' A member who has served for two consecutive periods may not be Appointed for a further period. This limitation does not apply to the President or to the Secretary. A number of committees have been set up to advise the Council on various subjects. The Council has thus- set up permanent advisory dele- gations for physics, for chemistry and for biology and radiation safety research. The Council is also advised by a permanent working group - The Committee of the Council. 1.1.4.International relations The Swedish Government has instructed the Council to be the Swedish coordination organization for the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva (CERN) and for the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen (NORDITA).

  • TRIUMF Celebrates Its First Four Decades
    FACES AND PLACES ANNIVERSARY TRIUMF celebrates its first four decades A little more than 40 years after TRIUMF was formally introduced to the world with the planting of an apple tree from Sir Isaac Newton’s family estate, the laboratory threw open its doors to the community to show off the fruit borne by four decades of basic and applied research. On 8 August TRIUMF celebrated its 40th anniversary with a festive open house, where for only the second time, the lab was open to the public for self-guided tours, physics demonstrations, games, fun for kids and free food. More than 1300 people came to this milestone event and they were not disappointed – some 100 TRIUMF employees volunteered on a pleasantly warm Saturday afternoon to talk to visitors along the tour route, answer questions, give demonstrations and explain the experiments and apparatus currently in operation. “A fifth of the lab gave up their Saturday TRIUMF’s 40th Anniversary commemoration ceremony. Invited guests and scientists who attended the to show TRIUMF off to the community,” original tree-planting ceremony 40 years ago, pose for a photograph in front of descendants of explains Colin Morton, ISAC beam physicist “Newton’s apple trees”.

    “Raoul Wallenberg: Saving a Nation” Elizabeth C. King Junior Division Research Paper Word Count: 2,496 1 “ I will never be able to go back to Sweden without knowing inside myself that I’d done all a man could do to save as many Jews as possible.” -Raoul Wallenberg 19451 Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish businessman and diplomat, lived in Budapest from 1944-1945 where because of his brave actions (such as providing safe houses, protective passports, and other life saving measures) he rescued over 100,000 Hungarian Jews from possible death by the Nazis. Unfortunately, tragedy struck Raoul when he was taken captive by Soviet forces in 1945 following the end of World War II. With Russia not admitting the true story of his death, he was never seen or heard from again. Before Raoul Gustaf Wallenberg Before Raoul Gustaf Wallenberg was even born, he had a name to live up to. The Wallenberg name was and is to this day one of the most famous in Sweden. The Wallenberg ​ ​ family members are most commonly known as bankers, politicians, diplomats, and builders of industry.2 Raoul’s father, Raoul Oscar Wallenberg, was a Naval officer while his mother, Maj Wising, was the daughter of a famous neurology professor.3 In 1912, Raoul Oscar Wallenberg was diagnosed with stomach cancer, at the same time while he and his wife were expecting a baby. Raoul told Maj right before his death, “I would be so happy if only little Baby grows into a kind and good human being.” 4 Little did he know how his son would live beyond his 1 Borden, Louise.

  • The CERN Neutrino Experiment
    189 7 The CERN Neutrino Experiment 7.1 Introduction In 1959 the proton synchrotron at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland started running, followed a little later by the AGS (Alternating Gradient Synchrotron) at Brookhaven, Long Island, USA. Both machines accelerated protons to approximately the same energy, 28 and 30 GeV respectively. They were the biggest machines of that time, with a diameter of about 200 m. The intensity was respectable: about 1011 protons per 3 seconds. Physicists started working with these exciting new toys. The era of big high-energy physics had started. At that time the state of affairs concerning particle physics in Europe (with England as an exception) was simply dismal. Ravaged after World War II, Europe started to get back on its by Dr. Horst Wahl on 08/28/12. For personal use only. feet. Perhaps the biggest problem was the absence of leading physicists; many Jewish physicists had left for the US, and notably also E. Fermi (who was not Jewish, but his wife was). No sub- stantial experimental effort existed anywhere in Europe before 1957, although here and there cyclotrons were built, used however Facts And Mysteries In Elementary Particle Physics Downloaded from www.worldscientific.com almost exclusively for nuclear physics (the study of the structure of the atomic nucleus). In 1957 a 3 GeV proton synchrotron called Saturne started up in France, but it did not play any role of sig- nificance in the development of particle physics that I know of, except perhaps in educating experimenters. In the US the influence of Fermi cannot be overestimated.

Twenty-five Years Later, Still Many Loose Ends In Three Major Cold War Cases Susanne Berger In 1944, the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg went to Hungary to protect the Jewish population of Budapest from deportation and death at the hands of Nazi death squads. In six short months, he managed to save thousands of lives and aided countless more by implementing an extensive humanitarian aid effort. In January 1945, he was arrested by Soviet troops and disappeared in the Soviet Union. In 1957, Soviet authorities announced that he had died in a Moscow prison in July 1947. They never presented any conclusive evidence for this claim and the full circumstances of his fate remain unknown. 1 On June 13, 1952 a Soviet fighter plane shot down a Swedish DC-3 reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic sea.

  • Meeting Putin 1
    President Moshe Katzav Presidentʼs House Rechov Jabotinsky Jerusalem""""""""Paris, 18 April 2005"" " " " " " Cc:, Mr Nathan Sharansky, Minister for Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs re: Request by the von Dardel Family to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin """""""" Dear President Katzav Our stay in Israel and our meeting with both you and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was very important to our family. For the first time in many years we felt a strong, personal commitment for finding the truth about the fate of our uncle Raoul Wallenberg and we are very touched by that. As you know, a few weeks ago we, together with Minister Nathan Sharansky, met with the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, in Geneva. At our meeting Ms Arbour indicated that she would be willing to raise the question of Raoul Wallenberg's fate directly with the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. We have felt for a long time that in addition to approaches by Ms Arbour and yourself to the Russian President, it perhaps would also be helpful, if our family could meet with President Putin directly. We would respectfully ask you, President Katzav, if you could mediate a meeting with President Putin, Minister Nathan Sharansky, my father, Dr. Guy von Dardel, my sister, Marie Dupuy, and myself in Moscow. The ten year research of the Swedish-Russian Working Group has shown that it is possible to solve the mystery of Raoul Wallenberg's disappearance in Russia. The Group's work has raised very important questions and has provided numerous precise leads, which deserve an equally precise follow-up investigation.

  • “A Memorial More Durable Than Marble”
    “A Memorial more durable than Marble” For 65 years, Guy von Dardel fought to know what happened to his brother, the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg Last year, the world commemorated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews from certain death at the hands of the Nazi regime in World War II. In January 1945, Wallenberg himself became a victim when he was arrested in Budapest by advancing Soviet troops. He later disappeared without a trace in a Moscow prison and the full circumstances of his fate have never been revealed On December 10, the Mauermuseum of Berlin will honor Raoul Wallenberg’s siblings Guy von Dardel and Nina Lagergren with the “Rainer Hildebrandt Medal” to honor their more than six- decade long fight for their brother. While Nina Lagergren’s work to preserve Raoul Wallenberg’s legacy has received broad international attention, Guy von Dardel’s efforts to trace his brother’s path through Soviet captivity are not quite as well known. ---------------- Guy Fredrik von Dardel, was born in Sweden on August 26, 1919. Like his half-brother Raoul - who was seven years older - and his younger sister Nina, he was raised in the capital city of Stockholm. During the 1940's, Guy attended the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), where he also completed his doctorate in physics in 1953. A year later, he and his young family moved to Geneva, where he became one of the pioneers in building up the world´s largest particle physics laboratory, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

  • Raoul Wallenberg's Biography by Jan Larsson
    Raoul Wallenberg's biography By Jan Larsson Foreword By now, people in most parts of the world have heard about Raoul Wallenberg's extraordinary rescue action on behalf of the Hungarian Jews during World War II. Recent documentaries about him, produced in a number of countries, have contributed to public awareness of his role. But the 1985 American TV miniseries "Wallenberg," which has been seen by many millions of people all over the globe, has been particularly important in this regard. During my lecture tours both in Sweden and abroad as part of the international effort to secure Raoul's release from the Soviet Union, I have often been asked how it was possible to save such a large number of people-about 100,000-from the Nazi executions. The most important answer: Raoul Wallenberg was the right man in the right place, given the situation then prevailing. Although he was not the heroic type in the ordinary sense, he was a fearless, skilled negotiator and organizer. He was, moreover, a good actor, a talent that served him well during his clashes with the Nazis. He could also show two different personalities. The first was the calm, humorous, intellectual, warm person that we co- workers could see. The second was Raoul Wallenberg in confrontation with the Nazis: he was transformed into an aggressive person who would shout at them or threaten them on one occasion, flatter or bribe them on another, as the circumstances required. They were impressed by him and usually gave in to his demands. One reason, of course, was his Swedish diplomatic status, which the Germans did not dare to violate.
