The items of this collection were created for and from the sessions of the Council and Committee of Council. The usual documents are lists of participants, agenda, minutes, progress reports and drafts of all these documents. The collection also contains a large selection of reports concerning CERN's policy in scientific, technical and administrative matters.
Sans titreThis collection includes: Minutes, reports and notes Correspondence and chronofiles Files about the Proton Synchrotron (PS) Files about computing and communications including the Satellite Transmission Experiment Linking LAboratories (STELLA) project * Documents on the CERN pension fund
Sans titreThe items in this collection include rights of the Organization and territorial statutes, agreements and contracts (preparation of the collaboration and cooperation agreements concluded with States, International or National organizations), litigation, insurance, intellectual property (legal advice on technology transfer activities).
Sans titreThe Pauli Manuscript Collection contains drafts of some of Pauli's works, as well as notes, preparation of lectures and calculations on various subjects, reflecting the scientific activities of Wolfgang Pauli. This collection gives an overview of how Wolfgang Pauli was working.
This collection contains programs of visits, legal documents and agreements, general correspondance, and notes on diplomatic activity.
Sans titreThe THC collection contains documents on the creation of CERN, and about the organisation and activities of the Theory Group in Copenhagen. It includes correspondence, reports and memoranda. The TH collection contains the files of Jacques Prentki, Jacob Maurice and John Ellis on the Theory Division. Jacques Prentki: joined Bernard d'Espagnat, the first CERN theorist in January 1955. He came from Leprince-Ringuet's Laboratory at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. He was nominated leader of Theory Division from 1966 to 1969 and from 1976 to 1981. His field of interest was QCD (Qunatum Chromodynamics), and grand unified theories. Maurice Jacob: was head of TH division from 1982 to 1988. A tireless research compaigner, he has also served as President of the French Physical Society in 1985 and as President of the European Physical Society from 1991 to 1993. Maurice also left his mark on scientific publishing, where he worked with leading North Holland/Elsevier journals from 1968 to 1985. His field of interest was particle physics, space physics, physics and society. * John Ellis: joined CERN in 1973. He was the leader of the TH Division from 1989 to 1993. John Ellis published over 700 scientific articles in particle physics and related areas of cosmology and astrophysics. His research interests included the possible experimental consequences and tests of new theoretical ideas such as gauge theories of strong and electroweak interactions, grand unified theories, supersymmetry, and string theory. He was awarded the Maxwell Medal of the Institute of Physics in 1983 and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1985. Honorary Doctorate, University of Southampton, 1994. It includes administrative, personnel, technical subjects (correspondance, notes, reports, documents on rules and regulations, staff recommandations, fellows and visitors, PS improvement programme…)
Sans titreThis collection contains working files and correspondence. It includes correspondance with Jon Magne Leinaas about some articles: Electrons as accelerated thermometers" written by Jon Magne Leinaas and John Stewart Bell in July 1982 – CERN-TH-3363 The Unruh effect in extended thermometers in July 1984 - CERN-TH-3948 * The Unruh effect and quantum fluctuations of electrons in storage rings in June 1986 – CERN-TH-4468 The collection also contains transparencies of the Symposium on quantum physics in memory of John Stewart Bell, New aspects of Bell's Theorem held at CERN, 2-3 May 1991. The participants were A. Shimony, J. M. Leinaas, K. Gottfreid, H. Rauch, A. J. Leggett, A. Aspect, G. C. Ghirardi, and R. Jackiw To see Videos and transparencies of participants http://cds.cern.ch/record/226299 There are also a few photos, one VHS cassette and some punched cards.
Sans titreThe Pauli Archive is a collection of the scientific books, reports, reprints, correspondence and manuscripts of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958). The collection contains some photographs and various personal items such as his awards and the baptismal cup given to him by his godfather Ernst Mach. Subjects discussed include physics and wider philosophical, psychological and epistemological issues.
Sans titreThe files of Werner Beusch contain a wide variety of documents from his scientific career at CERN. He mainly worked on the OMEGA Spectrometer at CERN from the 1960s to his retirement in 1995.
The documents contain a variety of materials from 1947 to 2015, which includes some non-CERN and CERN scientific publications, Beusch's publications, correspondence, handwritten notes, administrative documents, conferences, photographs, films, slides and reference materials. The languages most used in the documents are German, English and French, with one publication in Greek.
What mainly constitutes the collection are the handwritten notes that we found in his possession, which are unique. These include scientific calculations, experimental data calculations, graphs/charts and research notes. It also contains correspondence with colleague, including Jean-Pierre Blaser and with institution including ETH Zürich about Beusch's work.
The collection also contains slides, photographs and films documenting CERN from an aerial point of view, laboratory, charts, scientific presentations and on the OMEGA Spectrometer particle events recorded.
