ISRAEL IN THE LHC CLUB!

The council of the Centre of European Nuclear Research (CERN) voted unanimously in favor of admitting Israel as a full member of the world’s largest centre for the study of atomic particles. Israel becomes the first non-European country to be granted such status by CERN. The Large Hadron Collider, creates high-energy collisions of subatomic particles and was used to discover the Higgs-Boson or "God Particle" last year. Israel has been involved in CERN since 1991 and has been an associate member since 2011. Around 40 Israeli scientists already spend significant time working at CERN’s facilities in Switzerland. In addition, Israeli 22 doctoral students and 22 post-doctoral students are active at the centre.
