1. Social awareness, awakening societyOutreach

2. Summer Student SagaQuota and Lotterie

3. Technology transfer versus fair return ALICE in DDL-land, engineer’s paradise

Some starting points:

Kedves Bálint! Azt kérdi tőlem a legutóbbi levelében, hogyan jutottunk idáig - hogyan lehetséges, hogy Magyarország letargiába süllyed, és Ön, akiben nem ingott meg egy percig sem az elkötelezettség az ország iránt, sem akkor, amikor elegáns német ösztöndíjat kapott, sem akkor, amikor a világ leghíresebb intézetében, a svájci CERN-ben jutott fiatal kutatóként lehetőséghez, most kétségek között néz a hazájára, és nem tudja, egyáltalán hazajöjjön-e?

Levél egy fiatal fizikusnak

Letter to a young physicist

Dear Valentin,……who is a young researcher in CERN, (Switzerland) the most famous institute of the world….… is it worth to return home?

Summer Student Saga

In the period 1994-2000 Hungary had 6-8 students/year

experience: all our postdocs started as summer student efficiency: one gets doctoral student in 2:1 ratio

Since 2001 CERN DG introduced QUOTA=2 for small countries

dramatic decrease in PhD students

Selection procedure: LOTTERIE

we need national preselection of students and tutors

NA49 example

The NA49-future experiment at the CERN SPS

The NA49-future experiment is proposed to study nucleus-nucleus collisions to findevidence for the critical point of strongly interacting matter, to measure proton-proton, proton-nucleus interactions for reference and for a deeper understanding of the high pt penomena and to collect reference data for T2K and cosmic-ray experiments. Larger acceptance and DAQ rate increase are planned.

Technology transfer versus fair return

We are more interested in 10 small orders than 1 big one

Small orders can be obtained by participation in R&D

SHOW CASE: ALICE in DDL-land

General experience for Hungary: 100% return in experiments, zero return on accelerator construction

Proposed solution: “in kind” contribution for MS in the extra program
