People and things. CERN Courier, September 1983, v. 23(1)

The article reports on achievements of various people, staff changes and position opportunities within the CERN organization and contains news updates on upcoming or past events. A Soviet-American workshop on gauge field theories was held in Yerevan from 9-23 June, organized by a Soviet-American committee for mutual cooperation in the investigation of the fundamental properties of matter, and sponsored by the USSR State Committee for Atomic Energy and the US Department of Energy. A meeting of the Japan/US Committee on High Energy Physics at Brookhaven in May culminated in the signing of the fifth cooperative particle physics research agreement between the two countries. On 27 July, the experimental programme at the LEAR Low Energy Antiproton Ring began. After a short period of data taking, the ring pauses during the CERN Antiproton Accumulator shutdown, and resumes operation in the autumn. Installation of a new proton source on the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS) at Argonne has increased the accelerated proton current and hence the available flux of neutrons
