CECIL FRANK POWELL

1. Professor Cecil Frank Powell is known to be one of the most famous British physicists. In the late 1940s a very interesting and even dramatic Situation had taken shape in high-energy and cosmic rays physics. Earlier, in the thirties, H. Yukava, a Japanese physicist, had forecast the existence of particles with a mass intermediary between that of the nucleus of the atom of hydrogen - the proton - and the electron. These particles, called mesons, make the substance stable. But later on it was learned that the newly-discovered particles were extremely "passive" and could not be the forces that operate in the atomic nuclei.

2. Powell solved this paradox brilliantly. Studying cosmic rays by means of nuclear photoemulsion which he had perfected, he discovered one more elementary particle which was called the pi-meson and the pi-meson is really the basis of nuclear force.

3. This discovery won him die Nobel Prize in 1950. It was a very important discovery for physics. It was found that there is a whole system of elementary particles m nature which is similar, to a certain extent, to Mendeleyev's periodic table.

4. Professor Powell's school has already done and is still doing much to study the properties of high-energy particles. C.F. Powell was widely known for his progressive views and social and political activities.

5. He was President of the World Federation of Scientific Workers for several years, he also was a member of the World Council of Peace, and one of the leading men in the Pugwash movement. He was a frequent visitor to this country, he was known to many Russian scientists not only from his works, but from personal meetings, too. Many Russian researchers have visited him at his home in Bristol. In 1968 Professor Powell received the medal named after the famous Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov.

MORE INTENSIVE ANTARCTIC RESEARCH IS NEEDED

1.The Natural Environment Research Council in London has defined subjects for Antarctic exploration which it says should be intensified.

2. It has prepared a report emphasizing the importance of the Antarctic as the best natural scientific laboratory in existence. Fundamental physical, chemical and biological changes of global importance сan be observed without interference with the multiplicity of interacting factors which occur elsewhere, the report says.

3. The ice sheet includes nine-tenths of the earth's ice and snow. In conjunction with the surrounding sea ice, the processes by which energy transfer takes place between the seas end atmosphere or by ocean currents profoundly affect the heat balance and the climate of the rest of the world.

4. Studies of the atmosphere and ionosphere are of great importance for weather forecasting and radio communications. The ice sheet contains an unaltered record of substances precipitated over thousands of years. They are the only uncontaminated samples from the atmosphere over this period, the purest long-term record of terrestrial material circulating in the atmosphere, and the most easily interpreted record of the amount of extraterrestrial material falling on the Earth.

5. A programme of snow sampling at a series of points along а 600- mile line directed Inland from the coast, it is hoped, could provide a record of impurities from the sea These can be separated from the impurities of atmosphere origin.

6. The Antarctic is also thought to be a potential source of protein. This region is rich in shrimp-like organisms, which now multiply by an estimated 50 million tones a year. These are a rich protein source. Suggestions that they could be harvested are being taken seriously fey scientists who have seen other fish stocks diminish.

7. The report defends the outlay for research on long-term projects. The work is carried out under the British Antarctic Survey.

Слова и пояснения к тексту:

sampling – отбор образцов

shrimp – креветка

to harvest – собирать урожай

outlay –расходы
