The roots of scientific cooperation between Latvia and CERN stretch as far back the early 1990s, when researchers from the University of Latvia (UL) Institute of Solid-State Physics (ISSP) contributed to the scintillating crystal studies for the electromagnetic calorimeter of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. In the following two decades sporadic yet significant cooperation continued...
Lithuanian scientists began their collaboration with CERN in 1993 by joining research on radiation-induced defects in semiconductors and their impact on the performance of silicon detectors. Since then, the scope and scale of Lithuania’s participation in CERN experiments have grown substantially. This progress was significantly facilitated, first, by Lithuania becoming an Associate Member...
A first International Cooperation Agreement (ICA) between Estonia and CERN was signed in 1996. The Protocol to the ICA, signed in 2004, assured the funding required for the particle physics community in Estonia.
After joining the CMS Collaboration in 1997, Estonia’s high-energy particle physics community has been reinforced by the return of expatriate scientists, by new students and by direct...
