New discovery at CERN with the participation of scientists from INRNE-BAS – first experimental observation of the odderon

First on the list of exciting results at CERN for 2021 is the experimental observation of odderon exchange in elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton interactions. One of the lead scientists of this experiment is Dr. Georgi Antchev from the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy of BAS. He is the author of the data acquisition and processing systems and the coordinator of both the installation of these systems in the LHC tunnel and the testing and putting into operation of detectors. Odderons (a family of virtual, color-neutral states composed of an odd number of gluons) were predicted theoretically in 1973. The TOTEM, experiment, conducted at the LHC at CERN , studies the elastic scattering of protons which yields important information about the interaction and structure of these elementary particles. [...]

Bulgarian contribution to research on low carbon energy in transport

A hydrogen and solar-powered demonstration river vessel has been developed as part of Bulgaria's first multidisciplinary projects involving industry, local government and business. The project was implemented under the National Science Programme "Low Carbon Energy for Transport and Domestic Use (EPLUS)" by a research team of Ruse University "Angel Kanchev", with the participation of scientists from BAS and Technical University - Sofia. HydRUforce is a demonstration vessel with hybrid propulsion based on solar energy - battery - hydrogen fuel cell and has zero carbon emissions. With the realization of the project, Bulgarian scientists are involved in the research on the use of low-carbon energy in Europe's inland water transport. A pontoon with a solar roof was used for the hull of the vessel. All its [...]
