USABLE KNOWLEDGE (1) antiproton18th May 1999 - NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntville : "We are experimenting with laser propulsion and antimatter as viable options for space travels". (2) -induced (p+d) fissionL. Alvarez: "For a few days we thought we had solved all the fuel problems of mankind for the rest of time“ (1956).

  4. Computer Tomography

  5. 1. 1 Standard Model based Applications "Neutrino explorations of the earth" - 1983 A. de Rújula, S.L. Glashow, R.R. Wilson and G. Charpak. GEOTRON= 10 TeV protonsynchrotron GENIUS= Geological Explorations By Neutrino-Induced Underground Sounds GEMINI = Geological Exploration by Muons Induced by Neutrino Interactions GEOSCAN = Scanner for Measuring the density profile of the Earth

  6. 1. 2 Energy Production linked to Physics beyond the SM “Monopolecatalysed proton decay” “Non-topological stable solutions with a global baryon number” “Long-lived charged particles which could catalyse fusion”

  7. 2. PEOPLE Scientists and engineers are interesting to other fields of science and to companies because of · analytical thought and systematic approach · experience in designing and carrying out complex projects · habit of documenting and presenting own work · experience in working in international teams at the edge of knowledge · their knowledge Three groups of people · Students · Senior scientists

  8. 2. 1 Students ·         In the USA and in Europe students have different attitudes towards creating their own company University of San Diego92 % want it Switzerland 8% want it ·         States supporting technological theses at CERN Austria, France, Israel, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden ·          300 PhD experimental theses/year based on CERN data A large fraction goes to industry -DELPHI enquiry

  11. 2. 2 Senior Scientists • I. ten Have,PHILIPS product manager for medical imaging: • "After working as CERN staff for a number of years, the word impossible is no longer part of your vocabulary". • CERN policy: • “In 1999 the Finance Committee adopted the policy proposed by the new Management (protection of intellectual property and education to young scientists). The new measures will encourage the establishment of firms in Member States by young scientists leaving the Laboratory at the end of their first employment". • Examples: • Hendrick CASIMIR Richard GARWIN Carlo RUBBIA

  12. 3. METHODS Better technologies and better methods (always mixed) are continuously required In subnuclear physics Heisenberg indetermination: cross-sections decrease as 1/E2 Luminosities and data acquisition rates have to increase with less EUROS/GeV More spin-offs to society

  36. 4. 3 The paths for technological transfers 1. Spill-over of technological knowledge 2. Transfer through procurement 3. Transfer through joint development projects Japanese physicists are very good at this

  37. Transfer through procurement • Four studies have been performed of the • economic utility = increased turnover + cost savings resulting from high-tech contracts • CERN 1 economic utility =3 1975 • CERN 2 economic utility =3.0 1985 • ESA 1 economic utility = 2.9 1983 • ESA 2 economic utility = 3.2 1990

  38. Transfer through joint development projects • Reasons for an industry in a joint project • • gains in technological know-how for new products • • expectation of later orders • • acquisition of improved manufacturing technology • • prospects of new markets • Example : • ANSALDO Superconduttori (Genova) • magneti superconduttori per LHC (2007)_

  39. Four streams of spin-offs • by knowledgefuture is linked to the existence of new stable particles and/or entities • by peoplestudents • research scientists • senior scientists • by methods • by technologiesparticular technologies or integrated systemsthrough spill-over of technological knowledge • through procurement • through joint development projects Summary
