TOMSK, Apr 23 – RIA Tomsk. Tomsk State University (TSU) expanded participation in work on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN; TSU is the only Russian university entered collaboration of CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and carry out works within subsystem of radiation resistant detectors PPS, press service of university reports.
Earlier it was reported that TSU scientists thanks to radiation resistant detectors developed by them have entered into group of the ATLAS project, which is carried out on the LHC in CERN. Within the experiment researchers are engaged in search of super heavy elementary particles, such as Higgs boson. The university is a full member of collaboration of ATLAS and the only representative of Russia in TOTEM experiment.
"TSU entered collaboration CMS on the LHC in CERN. Nearly 200 research organizations and universities from 42 countries of the world are a part of CMS. TSU is the only university from Russia which joined a subsystem of radiation resistant detectors PPS in CMS", - it is said in the statement of the university.
It is specified that the super detector CMS along with ATLAS is the largest universal experimental LHC installation. Within the experimental CMS program TSU scientists investigate elastic and inelastic interactions of protons and develop electronics of radiation resistant detectors PPS. Their use significantly expands the capacity of CMS in studying of fundamental properties of matter.
"Our group develops new methods of ultraprecise registration of coordinates and time of high energy particles by means of the new detectors PPS for work in the conditions of the increased luminosity of LHC after planned modernization of the accelerator – we actively participate in the analysis of data and operation of a subsystem of PPS", – the press service quotes the head of the TSU group in CMS Vladimir Ivanchenko.It is noted that the university got new opportunities for students, graduate students and young specialists of TSU to be engaged in the advanced basic researches on the unique CMS installation with the introduction of TSU in collaboration of CMS in CERN and confirmed the high level of researches in the field of high energy physics which carry out TSU scientists in CERN.
