TOMSK, Jul
29 – RIA Tomsk. Tomsk State University (TSU) will complete in August a set of
undergraduates for the specialization "Physics of elementary
particles", which graduates will be able to qualify for work in the teams
of the hadron colliders NICA (Dubna) and CERN (Switzerland), the press service
of the university reported on Monday.
It is
specified that in 2018 at the TSU Faculty of Physics opened the "Physics
of elementary particles" specialization, the purpose of which – is training
specialists to work in large research projects, including European Organization
for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland and Joint Institute for Nuclear
Research (JINR ) in Dubna.
"In
addition to the theory of particle physics, undergraduates will be taught to
analyze data obtained during the most hardest physical experiments.
Applications are accepted until August 14. New specialization has appeared at
TSU thanks to a high demand from research centers in Russia and the world for
specialists of a similar profile", – is said in the message.

It is added
that in 2017 TSU team received a grant from the Russian government to create a
world-class center for analyzing data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at
CERN. TSU scientists at CERN are testing the sensors needed to upgrade the LHC.
Graduate students and undergraduates of TSU, studying in the specialization
"Physics of elementary particles", joined the tasks of data analysis
for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
"A
potential employer is also the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in
Dubna, with which TSU has signed a cooperation agreement in the field of
research and training. It is on the basis of JINR that a new NICA collider is
being built - to study the properties of dense baryonic matter", - the
press service reports.
According
to the university, during the master's degree program students will have the
opportunity to complete a scientific work in Dubna, and then stay there and
possibly take part in the work of the NICA accelerator complex, the first stage
of which will be commissioned just in 2021. In addition, within the framework
of cooperation with JINR, it is possible to start work in an experiment on the
study of neutrino physics on Baikal.
"Graduates
of a bachelor’s degree in a physical, mathematical or engineering profile can
enter the MA course. It is possible to find out more about the admission
conditions in the selection committee of the Faculty of Physics", – summarizes
the press service.
