Scientists discuss particle astrophysics in Hanoi

More than 300 scientists are gathering in Hanoi to exchange the latest particle astrophysics and nano physics research results at a week-long conference which convened on August 7.

There are almost 100 Vietnamese participating.

This is the sixth meeting of its kind since 1993 held under the initiative of Vietnamese French physicist Tran Thanh Van and his Vietnamese colleague Nguyen Van Hieu.

During the "Vietnam Meeting," Nobel prize laureates Klaus Von Klitzing (Germany), will talk about the initial research and new applications of nano electronics, and James Cronin (the US), will speak of the largest energy cosmic rays.

The participants will also hear about the initial working results of the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory, the transmission and UHECR sources, and other related issues. (VNA)
