Is HAARP Unique?
http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/haarpFactSheet.html

Ionospheric research facilities have been in continuous
use since the 1950's to investigate fundamental physical
principles which govern the earth's ionosphere, so that
present and future transmission technologies may take
into account the complexities of the ionosphere.
 
At the present time the US operates two ionospheric
research sites, one in Puerto Rico, near the Arecibo
Observatory, and the other (known as HIPAS) in Alaska
near Fairbanks. Both of these employ active and passive
radio instrumentation similar to that being built at
HAARP. Interest in the ionosphere is not limited to the
US: a five-country consortium operates the European
Incoherent Scatter Radar site (EISCAT), a premier
world-class ionospheric research facility located in
northern Norway near Troms�. Facilities also are located
at Jicamarca, Peru; near Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod ("SURA")
and Apatity, Russia; near Kharkov, Ukraine and in
Dushanbe, Tadzhikistan. All of these installations have
as their primary purpose the study of the ionosphere, and
most employ the capability of stimulating to a varying
degree small, localized regions of the ionosphere in
order to study methodically, and in a detailed manner
what nature produces randomly and regularly on a much
larger scale.

What is the Value of Ionospheric Research?
http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/haarpFactSheet.html

The ionosphere begins approximately 35 miles above the
earth's surface and extends out beyond 500 miles.
In contrast to the dense atmosphere close to the earth,
which is composed almost entirely, of neutral gas, the
thin ionosphere contains both neutral gas and a small
number of charged particles known as ions and electrons.
This ionized medium can distort, reflect and absorb
radio signals, and thus can affect numerous civilian and
military communications, navigation, surveillance and
remote sensing systems in many varied ways. For example,
the performance of a satellite-to-ground communication
link is affected by the ionosphere through which the
signals pass. AM broadcast programs, which in the daytime
can be heard only within a few tens of miles from the
station, at night sometimes can be heard hundreds of
miles away, due to the change from poor daytime to good
nighttime reflection from the ionosphere. A long-range
HF communication link which uses multiple hops or
reflections from the ionosphere and ground, often
experiences amplitude fading caused by interference
between signals which have traveled from the
transmitter to the receiver by two (or more) different
ionospheric paths.

Since the sun's radiation creates and maintains the
ionosphere, sudden variations in this radiation such as
those caused by solar flares can affect the performance
of radio systems. Sometimes these natural changes are
sufficient to induce large transient currents in electric
power transmission grids, causing widespread power
outages. Lightning is known to cause substantial heating
and ionization density enhancement in the lower
ionosphere, and there are indications that ground-based
HF transmitters, including radars and strong radio
stations, also modify the ionosphere and influence the
performance of systems whose radio paths traverse the
modified region. Perhaps the most famous example of the
latter is the "Luxembourg" effect, first observed in 1933.
In this case a weak Swiss radio station appeared to be
modulated with signals from the powerful Luxembourg station,
which was transmitting at a completely different frequency.
Music from the Luxembourg station was picked up at the
frequency of the Swiss station.

The continual growth in the number of civilian and military
satellite systems whose performance depends on paths passing
through the ionosphere, encourages not only good
characterization and monitoring of the ionospheric state,
but also an examination of what controlled local modification
of the ionosphere, using ground HF transmitters, could do for
and to these systems. Thus, while the HAARP facility is
expected to provide significant advancements in understanding
ionospheric science by stimulating and controlling plasma
processes in a tiny localized region within the ionosphere,
it also has the potential for significantly affecting the
planning for future satellite communication and navigation
systems through improvements in reliability and economics.

The Antimatter Factory
(by Django Manglunki)
Over the past 20 years scientists at CERN have been using
antiparticles in many different ways for their daily work.
Antiparticles can be generated by colliding subatomic 
particles. Before being delivered to the various physics 
experiments, they must be isolated, collected and stored in 
order to tune their energy to the appropriate level.
Until now, each of these steps has been carried out by a
dedicated machine with the main purpose of providing high
energy antiparticles.
But now the first "self-contained antiproton factory",
the Antiproton Decelerator (or AD), is operational at CERN .
It will produce the low energy antiprotons needed for a range
of studies, including the synthesis of antihydrogen atoms - the
creation of antimatter.
http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/factory/AM-factory00.html

[][][]

http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/factory/AM-factory04.html
The AD experiments
Three experiments are installed in the Antiproton Decelerator's
experimental hall:
ASACUSA "Atomic Spectroscopy and Collisions using 
Slow Antiprotons";
ATHENA "Antihydrogen Production and Precision Experiments" and
ATRAP "Cold Antihydrogen for Precise Laser Spectroscopy".
ATHENA and ATRAP's goal is to produce antihydrogen in traps,
by combining antiprotons delivered by the AD with positrons 
emitted by a radioactive source.
Antihydrogen atoms were first observed at CERN in 1995, and 
later (1997) at Fermilab. In both cases they were produced in 
flight, that means they moved at nearly the speed of light, i.e. 
much too fast to allow precise measurements on any of their 
proprieties! They made unique electrical signals in detectors 
that destroyed them almost immediately after they formed.
Now the idea is to produce slow antihydrogen atoms and store 
them into "traps", allowing extremely accurate comparisons of 
the properties of hydrogen and antihydrogen.
ASACUSA, on the other hand, will synthesize "exotic" atoms, 
in which an electron is replaced by an antiproton. Precise laser 
spectroscopy of these exotic atoms is expected to reveal lots of 
information on the behavior of atomic systems.
http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/factory/AM-factory04.html

ASACUSA
http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/factory/AM-factory04-a.html
ASACUSA stands for Atomic Spectroscopy And Collisions Using 
Antiprotons; spelt with a 'k' (as Asakusa) it is the name of 
one of the oldest quarters of Tokyo (and there are a lot of 
Japanese physicists in the collaboration!) This experiment will 
build antiprotonic helium atoms and will study them using laser 
spectroscopy techniques.
Why, and what is an antiprotonic helium atom?
A normal atom of helium consists of two electrons orbiting 
around the nucleus. If you replace one electron with an 
antiproton, you obtain antiprotonic helium.
Such atoms are extremely easy to create -- it is enough just
to bring fast-moving antiprotons to rest in ordinary helium.
The stationary antiprotons readily displace electrons from
neighboring helium atoms, and remain bound in their place,
traveling around the helium nucleus in a slightly elliptical 
orbit.  In most of the atoms, once this situation in reached, 
the antiproton falls into the nucleus so fast (a trillionth 
of a second!) that scientist have not time to do anything!
But antiprotonic helium is special, and sometime (about 3% of 
the cases) its atoms can live up to several millionths of a 
second, a time long enough for scientist to look at it carefully.
And since the properties of any atom are determined by the 
properties of its constituent particles, this unusual atom 
constitutes an extremely powerful microscope through which the 
antiproton can be studied in minute detail.
The way ASACUSA measures the properties of antiprotonic helium 
atoms is by the powerful and accurate tools of laser spectroscopy.

What is laser spectroscopy?
If you could look at the fall of the antiproton into the nucleus, 
you would see that is not "direct", but more like "descending a 
stair": it goes through the different "steps" defined by the 
energy levels of the atom. The study of the transitions between 
energy levels, that involve the absorption or emission of light, 
is called spectroscopy.
Now, one of the main goals of ASACUSA is to measure exactly the
"height of each step", i.e. the energy between levels.
One way to do it is to have the antiproton "jump" in a controlled 
way. How to convince it?
The principle of "laser spectroscopy" is to induce such jumps by 
a laser pulse. Only by tuning the laser "light" (= energy) to 
exactly the height of a step, the antiprotons can be made to jump.
If one gets the jump, he will know the energy looking at the laser
light which caused it!
ASACUSA physicists are planing to use, to this purpose, two beams
of laser light and a pulsed beam of microwaves. With the latter,
they hope to induce "mini-jumps" and reach the so called "hyperfine
energy levels ".
Spectroscopic studies on the hydrogen atoms led to crucial
understanding of matter and its components. In a similar way,
the spectroscopy of "antiprotonic atoms" allows the study of
the electrical and magnetic properties of the antiproton to
extremely high precision, and permits to compare them with
those of ordinary protons.
Several other detailed studies, both on the interactions of
antiprotons with different materials and on the interactions
of p-He+ with surrounding atoms and molecules, will be performed
by ASACUSA in the next years.

Some facts about the birthplace of antimatter...
European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN)

Antimatter is routinely produced at CERN (more than
10 million particles per second.)  The World-wide Web
was invented at CERN. The world's largest magnet,
weighing more than the Eiffel tower, is at CERN.
CERN's biggest accelerator is 27 kilometers around,
and particles travelling near the speed of light lap
it over 11,000 times each second.

The Seeker:
                   Chapter V. The Theater of Selves
               The Master Game, by Robert S. DeRopp

The transformation of an ego-centered being to a free
being does not take place either easily or quickly.
One is converted into the other gradually, by a series
of stages, and each stage carries with it its own
dangers and difficulties. The transformation begins
when one of the selves in a man's personality (the
Seeker) develops an awareness of the state of sleep,
or, alternatively, a hunger for the fourth state of
consciousness (Baudelaire's "Taste of the Infinite").
The Seeker forms as a result of the working in man of
the will to meaning and the will to self-transcendence.
[Note: DeRopp, a biochemist, was a student of Gurdjieff,
who maintained that before awakening to his real
essence, man was not a singular entity but a
multiplicity of I's, egos, or selves.]
