TOMSK, Sep 14 –
RIA Tomsk. Delegation of scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU)
delivered details necessary for upgrade of the track detector LHCb of the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) to European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN),
which was made in TPU for experiments on research of conditions of matter after
the Big Bang, press service of university reports.
Earlier it was
reported that TPU became the associated member of collaboration of the
experiment LHCb made on the LHC in CERN in 2016. LHCb is one of four main
detectors on the LHC, is used for research of asymmetry of matter and
anti-matter in interactions of b-quarks. Polytechnics work on modernization of
the track detector LHCb as participants of the experiment.
"Polytechnics
brought the first details of rail system of the track detector of LHCb to the
center... Development of polytechnics will be involved in detector upgrade. The
experiment LHCb is intended to answer one question – what processes operating
after the Big Bang allowed matter to remain in (modern) look and why during
evolution of the Universe anti-matter disappeared", – it is said in the
statement.

It is specified
that TPU takes part in modernization of the track detector SciFi Tracker which
consists of 24 separate detectors. At the time of collision of particles and
antiparticles detectors have to be located in strictly fixed place and position
with an accuracy of micron, at the same time they have to move freely on the
LHC perimeter. For this purpose the suspended system, rails and the chassis is
developed in TPU.
"One of
CERN tasks is search of the answer to fundamental questions of the universe and
formation of the Universe, expansion of ideas of the world and elementary
"particles" from which matter, mechanisms of their interaction is
arranged. This new knowledge is necessary for global technological and social
development of humanity", – the press service quotes the rector of TPU
Petr Chubik.
In addition, it
is reported that Chubik working as a part of delegation met the CERN director
for Research and Computing Eckhard Elsen. During the meeting, they discussed
the first results of cooperation of TPU with CERN collaborations and the
following steps of involvement of students and graduate students in physics of
high energy.
