...hearing before a House subcommittee, physicists from the U.S. and Europe last week stressed the importance of the mammoth project for American science. "By building the SSC you will have predominance in this particular field," said Carlo Rubbia, a renowned physicist at the CERN accelerator center near Geneva. His testimony supported the view of Presidential Science Adviser George Keyworth, who earlier this year warned that "it would be a serious blow to U.S. scientific leadership if that facility were built in another country...
...Working with smaller distances and higher energies," said Schwitters, "We're taking up where [Carlo] Rubbia left off. It's very exciting." Rubbia, a professor of physics at Harvard, won the Nobel Prize in physics last year for his discovery of new subatomic particles...

...Rubbia, who shared the Prize with Simon van der Meer of Holland, headed a team that used a 200-ton atom smasher to produce clear evidence of the subatomic W and Z particles. These particles, sought by physicists for 10 years, are believed to carry the "week force," one of the four fun damental natural forces in the universe...
