He also helped estabiish the high school educational system in Russia. Moscow State University was. founded in 1755 based on his plan and initiative, and the University now bears the name of Lomonosov. The Sixth Lomonosov Conference on Elementary Particle Physics "Cosmomicrophysics and Gauge Fields" was held at Moscow State University (August, 1993) and was sponsored by the Interregional Centre for Advanced Studies. The publication of the volume containing articles written on the basis of presentations at the 5th and 6th Lomonosov Conferences was supported by the Aecademia Nazionale dei Linoei (Italy). The idea to devote the 7th Lomonosov Conference to "Problems of Fundamental Physics" appeared because the year 1995 marked the ninetieth anniversary of the special theory of relativity (1905), the eightieth anniversary of the general theory of relativity (1915) and also seventy years after the foundations of quantum mechanics had been formulated (1925 - 1926). That was the reason to included the following set of items into the programme of the 7th Lomonosov Conference: 1) Quantum mechanics and paradoxes, 2) Formdations and developments of theory of Space-time, 3) Frontiers of particle physics (the Standard Model and beyond, strings, particle astrophysics, neutrino mass and oscillations). The aim of the Conference was to review the present situation and results so far obtained to the end of the twentieth century and discus perspectives for the future.

  • Einstein and Gravitational Waves
    Einstein and gravitational waves By Alfonso León Guillén Gómez Independent scientific researcher Bogotá Colombia March 2021 [email protected] In memory of Blanquita Guillén Gómez September 7, 1929 - March 21, 2021 Abstract The author presents the history of gravitational waves according to Einstein, linking it to his biography and his time in order to understand it in his connection with the history of the Semites, the personality of Einstein in the handling of his conflict-generating circumstances in his relationships competition with his colleagues and in the formulation of the so-called general theory of relativity. We will fall back on the vicissitudes that Einstein experienced in the transition from his scientific work to normal science as a pillar of theoretical physics. We will deal with how Einstein introduced the relativistic ether, conferring an "odor of materiality" to his geometric explanation of gravity, where undoubtedly it does not fit, but that he had to give in to the pressure that was justified by his most renowned colleagues, led by Lorentz. Einstein had to do it to stay in the queue that would lead him to the Nobel. It was thus, as developing the relativistic ether thread, in June 1916, he introduced the gravitational waves of which, in an act of personal liberation and scientific honesty, when he could, in 1938, he demonstrated how they could not exist, within the scenario of his relativity, to immediately also put an end to the relativistic ether. Introduction Between December 1969 and February 1970, the author formulated

    International Journal of Advanced Research in Physical Science (IJARPS) Volume 7, Issue 9, 2019, PP 13-26 ISSN No. (Online) 2349-7882 www.arcjournals.org Immanuel KANT and a New Physics Stanislav Konstantinov¹*, Stefano Veneroni² 1Department of Physical Electronics, Herzen State Pedagogical University, Saint Petersburg RSC”Energy”, Russia 2Department of Italian Studies, University of Eastern Piedmont, Vercelli, Italy *Corresponding Author: Stanislav Konstantinov, Department of Physical Electronics, Herzen State Pedagogical University, Saint Petersburg RSC”Energy”, Russia Abstract: A new Physics is born at the time of the crisis of theoretical physics and the entire scientific paradigm. The article proposes to come back to Immanuel Kant's philosophical heritage and, in particular, to his monograph “Critique of pure reason”, in order to better understand the concept of quantum vacuum (dark matter) in “New Physics” and its participation in all interactions in an open Universe. Keywords: quantum vacuum, dark matter, electromagnetism, gravity, nuclear forces PACS Number: 01.10.Fv, 04.50.-h, 12.10.Kt, 95.36.+x, 98.80.-k 1. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, in the scientific community, there is no unambiguous definition for the concept of “New Physics”. So Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, chief researcher at the Institute for Nuclear Research Valery Rubakov, who received Hamburg Prize in Theoretical Physics 2020 believes that despite all efforts, no experimental indications of a “new Physics” have yet been received. In his article “Higgs Boson”, he writes: “This is actually already starting to cause concern: is it right we all understand, it‟s quite possible, however, that we still haven‟t reached the “new physics” in terms of energy and in the amount of data collected.

INR established the prize in 2002 in memory of Moisey Alexandrovich Markov, a strong proponent of research in underground and deep-underwater neutrino physics, and one of the founders of INR. Rubakov and Shaposhnikov received the prize for their outstanding contributions to studies of the cosmological effects of gauge interactions and for the development of novel ideas of space-time and gravity. One of their best-known papers concerns electroweak non- conservation of baryon and lepton numbers at high temperatures (written with Vadim Kuzmin), a cornerstone of the modern theory of the early universe. In 1983 Rubakov and Shaposhnikov also conjectured that we live on a four- dimensional brane embedded in a multidimensional space-time, and suggested a Left to right: Mikhail Shaposhnikov, Albert Tavkhelidze (chairman of the expert committee mechanism for matter localization on the brane. of the Markov Prize), Valery Rubakov and Victor Matveev (director of the INR). proponent of its successor, NA48. and pointing out the importance of the effect EPS physics prizes Mathieu de Naurois of the Laboratoire de of gravitational lensing by local matter on the Physique Nucleaire et de Hautes Energies, CMB background. awarded in Lisbon IN2P3/CNRS, received the EPS-HEPP Young There were two recipients of the 2005 Physicist Prize for "his new ideas and decisive Outreach Prize - Dave Barney of CERN and The 2005 prizes of the High Energy and Particle contributions" in the cosmic gamma-ray Peter Kalmus of Queen Mary, University of Physics (HEPP) Division of the European experiments, CELESTE and HESS.

  • Radiochemical Solar Neutrino Experiments
    Radiochemical solar neutrino experiments V N Gavrin1 and B T Cleveland2,3 1 Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow 117312, Russia 2 Department of Physics, University of Washington, Seattle Washington 98195, USA E-mail: 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Abstract. Radiochemical experiments have been crucial to solar neutrino research. Even today, they provide + the only direct measurement of the rate of the proton-proton fusion reaction, p + p → d + e + νe, which generates most of the Sun’s energy. We first give a little history of radiochemical solar neutrino experiments with emphasis on the gallium experiment SAGE – the only currently operating detector of this type. The combined result of all data from the Ga experiments is a capture rate of 67.6 ± 3.7 SNU. For comparison to theory, we use the calculated flux at the Sun from a standard solar model, take into account neutrino propagation from the Sun to the Earth and the results of neutrino source experiments with Ga, and obtain +3.9 67.3−3.5 SNU. Using the data from all solar neutrino experiments we calculate an electron neutrino pp flux ♁ +0.76 10 2 of φpp = (3.41−0.77) × 10 /(cm -s), which agrees well with the prediction from a detailed solar model ♁ +0.13 10 2 of φpp = (3.30−0.14) × 10 /(cm -s). Four tests of the Ga experiments have been carried out with very intense reactor-produced neutrino sources and the ratio of observed to calculated rates is 0.88 ± 0.05.
