SuperB factory, haul down the project?
di Pietro Greco
It is called SuperB factory, it should have been able to produce a large quantity of elementary particles, named heavy B mesons, in a circular accelerator, with a circumference of 1.3 kilometers underground at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome and it was one of the “flagship projects" of the Ministry of Research. However, two days ago, the Minister, Francesco Profumo requested its termination. It is too expensive. We cannot afford it.
