Today was the last day of the 26th Baikal International Summer School, the day when the participants come back home with new knowledge, new friends and new memories; with their bags heavy with not only souvenirs, but also overwhelming emotions; with notebooks full of lecture summaries and ideas; with a poignant feeling that seems to be the beginning, not the end…

Today was the last lecture day. In the morning Maxim Barkov (INASAN) told “How to make jets fast, powerful and variable”, and Elena Nokhrina told about “Magnetic fields in AGN jets”. Two parts of the lecture “Radiation and particle acceleration processes in relativistic outflows” were delivered by Evgeny Derishev (IAP RAS) before and after lunch.

Before lunch, School participants continued with three lectures, the first parts of which were held yesterday: "Gravity, Black Holes and all that" by Emil T. Akhmedov (MIPT, ITEP), "Stars and New Physics" by Sergey Troitsky (INR RAS), and "UHE Neutrino Telescopes" by Grigory Safronov (INR RAS). After lunch, a lecture "Vortex states" was given by Dmitry Karlovets (ITMO University). The students together with their mentors are continuing to work on group projects.
