Annual Report ANNUAL REPORT 2014 NATIONAL CENTRE FOR PHYSICS “The main objective of NCP is to promote research in physics and allied disciplines and to develop science culture in Pakistan.” © 2015 National Centre for Physics (NCP) Quaid-i-Azam University Campus Shahdra Valley Road, Islamabad. ISBN: 978-969-9350-14-6 Compiled by: Dr. Riffat M. Qureshi Ata ur Rehman Ashiq Hussain Composed by: Syed Hasnat Gillani Photographs by: Muhammad Imran Iqbal Published by: Collaborations & Academic Activities Department Director General’s Message The National Centre for Physics was established in 2004 on the pattern of The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (AS-ICTP), Trieste, Italy. It is a unique centre for research in fundamental and advanced areas of physics in Pakistan. The main objective of NCP is to promote research in the field of physics and allied disciplines in Pakistan. NCP endeavors to engage in world-class research and develop science culture in the country. NCP is a novel research institute aiming to produce world-class scientific researchers at NCP, as without good science no progress can be made in any area of technology or applied sciences. It is a matter of great pleasure for me to see that NCP has achieved national and international recognition at its initial stages and has gained a high pedestal among well- established research institutes of the country. At NCP, we are recognized for providing most up-to-date research facilities, which are not only used by the researchers at NCP but are available to all physics community of Pakistan. Facilities offered are: accelerator, nano-science laboratory, computing resources, experimental high-energy physics and vacuum sciences. NCP is providing a free academic atmosphere to young researchers for their personal grooming by providing them a unique platform with an excellent opportunity to discuss results of their theoretical and experimental research in the presence of internationally renowned scientists and experts. Communicating new ideas and important results is an important part of the scientific process and it is our hope that NCP will motivate young researchers to think in terms of interesting problems at the leading edge of science, which itself will lead to high quality research at international level. NCP is involved and have scientific cooperation agreements with several international centres’ of scientific excellence and learning. The list includes AS-ICTP, SESAME, ALS, KRISS and CERN. It is important to note that after 20 years of efforts, Pakistan is on its way to acquire the Associate Membership of CERN that will strengthen the long-term partnership between CERN and the Pakistani scientific community. Moreover, it will allow Pakistani scientists to become members of the CERN staff, and to participate in CERN’s training and career-development programs. In the year 2014 more than 20 events were conducted at NCP including International Scientific Spring (ISS) and International School on LHC Physics, in which hundreds of students participated and showed their interest towards the field of physics and allied disciplines. Moreover 162 hosted researchers were registered at NCP and 186 research papers were published. Apart from laboratories, NCP has a good infrastructure including state of the art auditorium, guest house, BOQs, MOQs & cafeteria. These facilities provide a very conducive environment to hold National & International events. NCP is now focusing to bridge the gap between Industry & R&D. For this purpose, NCP has established a Business Development Unit which will liaise with industry in identifying its needs, keeping in view the NCP research areas. I believe that all of us in the physics and scientific community of Pakistan should join hands and make NCP a real success story. Hafeez R. Hoorani What’s Inside 1.

  • The Creation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste
    Alexis De Greiff The tale of two peripheries The Tale of Two Peripheries: The Creation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste Publicado con cambios menores en Historical Studies of Physical and Biological Sciences (Special Issue, Alexis De Greiff y David Kaiser, eds.) Vol. 33, Part 1 (2002), pp. 33-60. Alexis De Greiff* Abstract: This paper can be seen in the intersection between history of 20th-century physics, diplomatic history and international relations of science. In this work I analyze the dynamics of the negotiations to create the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, which took place between 1960 and 1963 at the International Atomic Energy Agency. In contrast to previous studies on the creation of international scientific institutions, I pay special attention to the active role played by scientists, politicians and intellectuals from the host-city, Trieste (Italy). Further, I spell out the historical circumstances that allowed this group of local actors to become key figures in the establishment of the Centre. I discuss in detail their interests as well as the political and scientific environment that eventually catalysed the diplomatic efforts of the Trieste elite. The present paper is also concerned with the strategies adopted by the advocates of the idea to confront the hostility of delegations from several industrialized countries, the Soviet Union and India. A frontier is a strip which divides and links, a sour gash like a wound which heals with difficulty, a no-man’s land, a mixed territory, whose inhabitants often feel that they do not belong to any clearly-defined country, or at least they do not belong to any country with that obvious certainty with which one usually identifies with ones native land.

I have duly acknowledged all the sources of information which have been used in the thesis. This thesis has also not been submitted for any degree in any university previously. _________________________________ Irfan Waheed Usmani 21 August 2015 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First I would like to thank God Almighty for enabling me to pursue my higher education and enabling me to finish this project. At the very outset I would like to express deepest gratitude and thanks to my supervisor, Dr. Gyanesh Kudaisya, who provided constant support and guidance to this doctoral project. His depth of knowledge on history and related concepts guided me in appropriate direction. His interventions were both timely and meaningful, contributing towards my own understanding of interrelated issues and the subject on one hand, and on the other hand, injecting my doctoral journey with immense vigour and spirit. Without his valuable guidance, support, understanding approach, wisdom and encouragement this thesis would not have been possible. His role as a guide has brought real improvements in my approach as researcher and I cannot measure his contributions in words. I must acknowledge that I owe all the responsibility of gaps and mistakes in my work. I am thankful to his wife Prof.

  • A Layman's Guide to M-Theory1
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CERN Document Server CTP-TAMU-23/98 hep-th/9805177 A Layman’s Guide to M-Theory1. M. J. Duff Center for Theoretical Physics Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843 ABSTRACT The best candidate for a fundamental unified theory of all physical phenomena is no longer ten-dimensional superstring theory but rather eleven-dimensional M-theory. In the words of Fields medalist Edward Witten, “M stands for ‘Magical’, ‘Mystery’ or ‘Membrane’, according to taste”. New evidence in favor of this theory is appearing daily on the internet and represents the most exciting development in the subject since 1984 when the superstring revolution first burst on the scene. 1Talk delivered at the Abdus Salam Memorial Meeting, ICTP, Trieste, November 1997. 1 Abdus Salam The death of Abdus Salam was a great loss not only to his family and to the physics community; it was a loss to all mankind. For he was not only one of the finest physicists of the twentieth century, having unified two of the four fundamental forces in Nature, but he also dedicated his life to the betterment of science and education in the Third World and to the cause of world peace. Although he won the Nobel Prize for physics, a Nobel Peace Prize would have been entirely appropriate. At the behest of Patrick Blackett, Salam moved to Imperial College, London, in 1957 where he founded the Theoretical Physics Group. He remained at Imperial as Profesor of Physics for the rest of his carreer.
