The first Impact' of perestroika on Russian fundamental science was on 11 June 1989, when three railway wagons loaded with slabs for Serpukhov's new UNK synchrotron and moving at 50 km/h slammed into the SCAT heavy liquid bubble chamber, ready for its autumn neutrino run. With characteristic determination, the Serpukhov physicists recalled the words of a folk song - "Our armour was strong and our hands were still quick." SCAT was fixed in just two months and started to work with new propane-freon mixture (event in right corner) just as successfully as it did before with freon (electron-neutrino event in left corner). md5:f3badc8e936ff81907b97fa2bca10470	482.9 kB	Preview Download
