美国超导超级对撞机案例研究

Research on the Superconducting Super Collider Project in the United States

美国在20世纪80年代决定建造投资巨大的超导超级对撞机,但该大科学工程在进行了七年后又戛然而止。建造的理由和停顿的原因,都有其复杂的政治、经济和军事等方面的背景。文章对其产生、发展和夭折的历程进行了回顾和分析,对造成工程夭折的各种因素进行了初步的探讨,并认为该工程的决策、建造和停建所反映出来的各种问题,对我国大科学工程的决策、建设和管理也具有一定的借鉴意义。

The United States decided to build a superconducting super collider in 1980s,but the scientific project ceased abruptly after operating for seven years.The reasons of constructing and suspending the project had its own complicated political,economic and military influences.The origin,development and extinction of the scientific project are reviewed and analyzed in this paper.A preliminary study is given to the various factors of its extinction.The author believes that the problems of the decision-making,construction and halting of the project would have some reference on decision-making,constructing and managing of big scientific projects in China.
