CERN and U.S. Strengthen Partnership
CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) made an agreement with the U.S. to renew their collaboration in particle physics and advanced computing. The U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. National Science Foundation, and CERN signed the agreement during a ceremony at the White House.“Today’s agreement not only enables U.S. scientists to continue their vital contribution to the important work at CERN, but it also opens the way to CERN’s participation in experiments hosted in the United States,” says Ernest Moniz, U.S. secretary of energy. Rolf-Dieter Heuer, CERN’s director-general, says, “It allows us to look forward to a fruitful long term collaboration with the United States, in particular in guiding the Large Hadron Collider to its full potential over many years through a series of planned upgrades. This agreement is also historic since it formalizes CERN’s participation in US-based programs such as prospective future neutrino facilities for the first time.” For more information, read the press release.
