Israel and Turkey are close to becoming members of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research — or CERN, the world’s top particle physics centre — barring last-minute political objections.
The move is being seen as expanding the pioneering research of CERN beyond its home continent for the first time. The two states are among five whose applications may be approved next Friday by the governing council of the Geneva-based laboratory.
The laboratory’s star project, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), was restarted successfully this month after a year’s stoppage for repairs. In tests this week the accelerator eclipsed the American-held record for sub-atomic particle collisions, staff said.
The expansion of the 55-year-old organisation will lead it to become an international body, Rolf Heuer, its director-general, told The Times. Officials say there have been no objections from CERN’s 20 member states — but Israel says Switzerland is expressing reservations and it also fears that Greek objections to Turkey’s membership could endanger its own bid.

israel ist klar... die haben top wissenschaftler, die gehören dazu...
aber die türken
wollen die rund ums cern dönerbuden aufstellen? hört man dann in den fluren des cern öfters türkische gemüsehändler obst feil bieten: "melone, melone, frische melone... kilo eins achtzisch"
