Dushanbe conf to deal with high-mountain research outlook.
DUSHANBE, September 29 (Itar-Tass) - A two-day conference workshop on the theme of "Prospects for Inter-Disciplinary High-Mountain Research into Natural Systems with due Regard for Astro-Cosmic Factors within the Scope of the Activities of the Pamirs-Chakaltai International Research Center" opens in the conference hall of the National Academy of Sciences here on Wednesday.
Discussions will involve scientists from the Russian Federation,
Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, and other countries.
They will bring up for discussion 16 scientific reports on the problems of
high-energy physics, achievements in the study of cosmic rays, space
weather, the use of and prospects for the Pamirs Experiment, the
application of the newest technical means in the study of cosmic rays and
interaction between superhigh-energy particles, and other physical
phenomena occurring in the atmosphere and in the near-Earth space.
Within the scope of the conference workshop, provision has been made
for a trip into the Pamirs mountains where the Pamirs-Chakaltai
international research center is located at the Ak-Arkhar survey mark,
Murgab District, at an altitude of 4,400 metres above sea level.
The Pamirs Experiment was launched in 1971. It made a valuable
contribution to the solution of research problems of nuclear physics. In
the 1990s, in view of the break-up of the Soviet Union and a subsequent
disruptive civil war, all research was interrupted.
A year ago, Russia took interest in "this high-mountain research
site". A Russo-Tajik intergovernmental agreement on the founding of a
Pamirs-Chakaltai research center was signed.
Fundamental research in the fields of outer space, nuclear physics,
and other areas, conducted on the basis of the Center, will be financed
resultant of funds of the research organizations of Russia and Tajikistan,
scientific organizations of other member-countries of the Center, national
and international scientific foundations which give financial support to
research projects.
