We at Aero-Tech Industries, are currently seeking a few nations to assist us in the funding of several new factories. The purpose of these factories is to further study the modern theories of particle physics. Due to the potential nature of these studies, only a select few will be intrusted to work in these factories.

Modern theories of particle physics and of the evolution of the universe suggest, or even require, that antimatter and matter were equally common in the earliest stages—so why is antimatter so uncommon today? The observed imbalance between matter and antimatter is a puzzle yet to be explained. Without it, the universe today would certainly be a much less interesting place, because there would be essentially no matter left around; annihilations would have converted everything into electromagnetic radiation by now. So clearly this imbalance is a key property of the world we know. Attempts to explain it are an active area of research today.

Therefore, in order to conduct research, we need to better understand that tiny part of the laws of physics that differ for matter and antimatter; without such a difference, there would be no way for an imbalance to occur. This distinction is the subject of study in a number of experiments around the world that focus on differences in the decays of particles called B-mesons and their antiparticle partners. These experiments will be done both at electron-positron collider facilities called B factories and at high-energy hadron colliders, because each type of facility offers different capabilities to contribute to the study of this detail of the laws of physics--a detail that is responsible for such an important property of the universe as the fact that there is anything there at all!

The application process will closed in 24 hours. At that time, selected applicants will be notified via TG. We initially ask for participating nations to provide funding in the amount of $25 Billion USD.

Respectfully,

Thank you Imitora...also check your TG's.

As long time friends of Sambizie, because of our lack of technical expertise, we offer to foot any and all R&D costs. Count us in.

Thank you Adejaani...welcome aboard.

Thank you Adejaani...welcome aboard.

No, Samba, it is we who should be thanking you. You've brought Adejaani so far, brought us into APTO and done so much for us. It is the least we can do.

Thank you for the kind words Adejaani.

We are still accepting applications for partenerships in this new era of anti-matter research.

Update:

With funding received from the Nation of Adejaani,

-2 Electron-Positron Collider Facilities are being constructed in New Sambizie.
-2 High-energy Hadron Collider Facilities are also being constructed in New Sambizie.

We would also like to construct 2 of each of the facilities in the nations of Imitora and Adejaani, for a total of 6 of each type of facility. The first of the facilities will be operational within a month (1 RL day).

Any interested nation may still submit an application by 6:00pm CST (RL).

LRR will also help.

LRR will also help.

Thank you LRR, You request is being processed.

We can bring in the scientists that worked on our Anti-matter reactors and drives, and provide access to 1 Electron-Positron Collider facility, as well as 1 High-Energy Collider.

Thank you friend, we look forward to working with you, as it has been some time since we last worked on a project. Your scientists are most welcome, however...our plants are located in another system. If you prefer to be Earthbound..I suggest you contact Adejaani or Imitora. If you would like to work in New Sambizie and have no objections to us transporting your crews, that would work fine.

New Sambizie is located in a rather hostile enviroment. The system is heavely guarded and thus, your ships will not be reconized by the Sentry Devices, That is why they would have to be transported by me.

That's fine, we can send our scientists to Over-Auerstadt Station for pickup. We will make our Earthside facilities open to all members of the project.

Thank you New Empire, we will contact you when the transport arrives.

Seeing as we our a nation mostly focused on research and a very large budget for it, we shall contribute 25billion to your studies.

The application process is now closed. Aero-Tech would like to thank all who have applied and expressed their interest. We will make our decission tomorrow, and post all those involved. As a special thank you from Aero-Tech, we will offer those who expressed their intrest, a 1 time 10% discount on all SA-43 (standard) HAmmerheads. Limit 100 per nation.

Thank you again,

M. Uganda

Update

TO: Adejaani, Imitora, New Empire, Lunatic Retard Robots, The Unreal Soldiers.

FROM: Aero-Tech Board of Directors

To the respective nations,
I am pleased to announce that the above mentioned have been accepted for the joint research of matter/anti-matter. Before this research begins, I would like to state the following conditions of this joint project.

1. This is a scientific study. At no time will any nation have their military on foreign soil. Any foreign military personal caught, will be charged with crimes against the government.

2. IF, foreign scientist wish to utilize another nations "collider facilities", They will be properly ID'ed and escorted to and from the facility.

3. Any attempt of espianage or the smuggling of information will constitute a state of war.

Due to the facilities built in Imitora and Adejaani, The Sambizie will send 15 of our project leaders to compile data. As Adejaani is an Aero-Tech Excutive, he may amend the previous conditions of this project.

Today, Sambizie opened it's facilities:
Electron-Positron collider complex

High-Energy Hadron collider facility/Linear Collider Test Accelerator complex

Thank you for your time. All R&D can be discussed here.

Quick question. Will my scientists be able to use these?

Quick question. Will my scientists be able to use these?

Yes.

Very cool.

OOC: Adejaani will be deploying along Colonel Sam "Gargoyle" Gargiulos, an Air Force officer to the Sambizie labs. She's our foremost astrophysicist and just generally the smartest gal in the Republic.

But I'm still not sure what exactly we're meant to do here. :?

I'm with Adj. We'll be putting one of our top brains in each facility, but we arent quite sure what we'll be doing.

OOC:You may not know what your scientist are doing, but they will :lol: OK...ummm, how can I explain this..

What do the facilities do?
-The B factories fire a beam of positrons into a beam of electrons to create millions of pairs of B mesons and their anti-particles. Detectors measure the decay rates of B mesons and anti-B mesons extremely accurately, and from this physicists calculate a quantity known as 'sin 2-beta'. The BaBar experiment found a sin 2-beta value of 0.34 +/- 0.2, which is around twice as accurate as the previous best guess. The BELLE estimate is 0.58 +/- 0.33.

Why are we researching this?
-Cosmologists believe that anti-matter and matter - known as baryonic material - were created in equal amounts at the beginning of the universe. It was once thought that particles and their anti-particles had exactly the same mass but opposite electrical charges, and that they produced identical - but mirror image - decay traces.

But anti-matter and matter must have undergone slightly different processes since the Big Bang to account for the dominance of matter over anti-matter that we see today. Experiments in the 1960s supported this idea by showing that particles known as K mesons were not exact opposites of their anti-particles because they decayed at different rates. Russian physicist Andrei Sakharov later proposed a mechanism for this so-called asymmetry, known as charge-parity (CP) violation.

But the unusual behaviour of the K mesons cannot alone account for the excess matter in the universe, and although CP violation is consistent with the tried and tested Standard Model of particle physics, it is not fully proven. The BaBar and BELLE experiments were devised to help fill the gap by searching for asymmetry in decays of the B mesons. Asymmetry effects were expected to be more pronounced in the B mesons than in the lighter K mesons.

OOC: You see, alot of people around NS claim to have "drives" that utilize matter/anti-matter, on their fleetships. If people don't have a clue to what that would ential, they shouldn't make the claims. This is the R&D of matter/anti-matter containment, acceleration, and reaction. With this knowledge, we will develope; Matter/Anit-matter Containment Chambers, Replacements for Nuclear Powered Drives and Weapons, and Focused Accelrated matter/anti-matter Beams, shielding...ect...
