CARLO RUBBIA

In 1984 it receives, together with the Dutch Simon van der Meer, the Nobel prize for the physics for his discoveries.
Its searches cover many aspects of the physics of the elementary particles in which it is extremely active. In the years after the Nobel it starts to interest in the energetic problems and it studies a fission sure reactor in which the neutrons of the chain reaction they are produced through an accelerator of particles. The reactor stays however to the stadium of project.
he is also dealt with cosmic neutrinos, of the stability of the proton, of checked nuclear fusion; he has conceived a motor (the project 242) that using only 2,5 kg of americio 242 can bring a spaceship up to Mars in once very smaller of the actual propellers. Currently interest him in the problem of the dark subject.
The experiment from him proposed, WARP (Wimp ARgon Programme), proposes him to reveal the presence of dark subject in the form of WIMP (Massive Weakly Interacting Particles).
Currently to Spain moves for building some thermal solar plants that aim to replace the actual electric plants.
