Sharing of accelerators and technologies has led to joint studies involving interactions of pions, protons and neutrinos.

The broad and well‐balanced Soviet program on magnetic confinement of thermonuclear plasma includes research on tokamaks, stellarators, open‐ended mirror machines and pulsed reactors.

A series of symposia alternating between the US and the USSR has made possible a significant transfer of information in such topics as superfluid helium, critical phenomena and one‐dimensional systems.

Exchange visits have given us a good view of Soviet work on laser fusion, nonlinear optics, laser spectroscopy, isotope separation and the development of new lasers—and enhanced the prospects for further cooperation.
