Inoltre Rubbia propose e realizzò al CERN un nuovo acceleratore di particelle in cui si fece collidere un fascio di antiprotoni con un fascio di protoni, allo scopo di raggiungere energie tali da consentire la produzione di bosoni vettori intermedi (particelle circa cento volte più pesanti dei protoni).

 Zona Nucleare - Il parere che Carlo Rubbia ha esposto in Parlamento
Rubbia sostiene inoltre che «non corrisponde alla realtà l’affermazione in base alla quale il sito di Scanzano sarebbe un caso unico», con caratteristiche praticamente identiche a quelle di un sito che dal 1999 è operativo negli Usa (il sito Wipp nel New Mexico).
Secondo Rubbia le esperienze di altri Paesi evidenziano che «le fasi di indagini» sui siti «devono necessariamente precedere qualsiasi messa a dimora di rifiuti radioattivi di qualsiasi categoria».
Rubbia boccia l’ipotesi, presente nel decreto originario, ma poi rientrata, di stoccare comunque in via provvisoria a Scanzano i rifiuti provenienti da altre località.

Rubbia was educated at the Normal School of Pisa and the University of Pisa, earning a doctorate from the latter in 1957.
In 1973 a research group under Rubbia's direction provided one of the experimental clues that led to the formulation of the electroweak theory by observing neutral weak currents (weak interactions in which electrical charge is not transferred between the particles involved).
carlo rubbia is a former director of CERN, the European laboratory for particlephysics, and a fearless experimental physicist.

 The Energy Amplifier
Even under the heavy burden of responsibility as CERN's Director General from 1989-3 the fertile mind of Carlo Rubbia the scientist was never still.
The idea is to use a particle accelerator producing neutrons by spallation (interaction of particles with a target) to feed a fuel/moderator assembly where the neutrons multiply by fission chain reactions.
For Rubbia's Amplifier, the requisite accelerator is a reasonable extrapolation of an existing cyclotron such that at the Swiss Paul Scherrer Institute.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Rubbia Reportedly Threatened To Resign
Harvard Nobel physicist Carlo Rubbia threatened to resign earlier this month after his colleague and fellow Nobel Laureate Sheldon L. Glashow praised a controversial book which criticizes him, a source close to Rubbia said yesterday.
The source said that in response to Glashow's remarks, Rubbia, who won the Nobel for discovering the W and Z particles, wrote a letter to the Physics Department chairman threatening to leave Harvard, the source said.
Rubbia retracted his threat after Glashow showed him a copy of a letter he wrote to Time, clarifying his comments on the book and upholding Rubbia's integrity, the source said.

 Update 2 Thorium - The Better Nuclear Fuel?
Carlo Rubbia won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1984 for the discovery of two elusive high energy particles, called the W and the Z. The discovery was a feat not only of physics, but of engineering.
Rubbia thinks it may be worth the trouble to do that, even if it is a roundabout route to nuclear fission.
But the EA is undoubtedly a safer reservoir for the after-shutdown heat than the conventional reactor, because it is filled with heat absorbing material (lead) that does not leak, does not require pumping to distribute the heat evenly, and will not boil away or make bubbles, as water does.
