TOMSK, Mar 13 – RIA
Tomsk. Detectors of Tomsk State University (TSU)
successfully passed tests at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European
Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the head of TSU Laboratory for
Functional Electronics Oleg Tolbanov reported RIA Tomsk.
Earlier it was reported that radiation resistant
detectors of TSU are installed for tests at the LHC in 2016. Tomsk sensors
proved to be much more stable than the previous ones due to the fact that they
were made not from traditional silicon, but from gallium arsenide and
manufactured using a special technology. They are used for the ATLAS
experiment, which purpose is to search for superheavy elementary particles,
such as Higgs boson.
"Now detectors function nominally, information
get from them", – Tolbanov told.

He specified that now for ATLAS experiment eight
detectors of TSU are used. "What will happen next - we'll see", - the
interlocutor of the agency added.
Also it was reported that now Tomsk detectors are used
in the channel of the collider for measurement of radiation background. However
in the future they, perhaps, will also detect all secondary particles which
reach them, transferring data to the CERN equipment.
CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) –
is the largest international scientific organization of Europe in the field of
nuclear physics. It is located in Switzerland. It was here that made a large
number of large discoveries, in particular, the Higgs boson is discovered. It
operates the Large Hadron Collider.
