1990 - 2012年拉丁美洲理论高能物理：统计研究
Theoretical High Energy Physics in Latin America from 1990 to 2012: a Statistical Study
摘要：
我们对1990年至2012年期间拉丁美洲（LA）出现的理论高能物理（HEP）出版物进行了统计概述。我们的研究涵盖了在这一研究领域占主导地位的八个拉丁美洲国家：巴西，墨西哥，阿根廷，智利，哥伦比亚，委内瑞拉，乌拉圭和古巴。作为洲际基准，我们将它们与印度、加拿大、韩国、比利时和南非进行比较。我们考虑了专业高影响力期刊上研究论文的生产率，以及相应的引用次数。目标是记录洛杉矶在没有直接实际利益的研究领域赶上最富裕国家的努力。对理论HEP的限制排除了大型国际合作，这使得能够公平评估国家成就。我们进一步研究这些记录是如何与三个社会经济指数：国内生产总值（GDP），人类发展指数（HDI）和教育指数（EI）相关的。尽管取得了一些进展，但与占主导地位的国家相比，在法律援助方面仍然存在着积压，这不能仅仅用经济不足来解释。总的来说，社会经济和科学发展之间的详细联系并不明显。
英文摘要：
We present a statistical overview of the publications in theoretical high energy physics (HEP), which emerged in Latin America (LA) in the period from 1990 to 2012. Our study captures the eight Latin American nations, which are dominant in this field of research: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Uruguay and Cuba. As an intercontinental benchmark, we compare them with India, Canada, South Korea, Belgium and South Africa. We consider the productivity of research papers in specialized high-impact journals, and the corresponding numbers of citations. The goal is to document the efforts in LA to catch up with the most wealthy countries, in a field of research without direct practical benefits. The restriction to theoretical HEP excludes large international collaborations, which enables a fair evaluation of national achievements. We further investigate how these records are correlated with three socio-economic indices: the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Human Development Index (HDI) and the Education Index (EI). Despite some progress, there remains a backlog of LA compared to the dominant countries, which cannot be explained solely by economic deficiency. In general, a detailed correlation between the socio-economic and scientific evolution is not obvious.
