International School of Subnuclear Physics 2026 was held in Italy
Subnuclear physics (particle physics, high-energy physics) is a branch of physics that studies fundamental components of matter and laws of their interaction. The International School helps specialists who are actively engaged in the most advanced research to become up to date on the most significant theoretical and experimental developments. One of the aims of the school is to encourage and promote young physicists to achieve recognition at an international level. The programme of the school includes lectures of leading scientists, oral reports of the participants and poster sessions, where researchers present the results of their current work.
The selection of the participants was based primarily on scientific classification, while geographical factors are also taken into account to ensure representation from various countries. This year 11 people presented Russia, four of them were JINR staff members (Artem Vasyukov (DLNP), Daniil Shelkovkin (BLTP), Aleksandra Ivanova (DLNP) and Ekaterina Ramakoti (DLNP))
Artem Vasyukov, junior researcher of the DLNP Department of Colliding Beams, presented a report “Amplitude Analysis of B0 and Bs decays at the ATLAS experiment”.
Aleksandra Ivanova, trainee researcher of the DLNP Department of Particle Physics presented a report “Atmospheric neutrinos detection in the NOvA experiment” and two posters:
1. “Selection algorithms development for atmospheric neutrino detection in the NOvA experiment”;
2. “The TAIGA hybrid complex: a key to observing PeV-energy gamma rays”.
Aleksandra’s poster, following the results of the competitive selection, was named the best experimental poster. Moreover, she was among the best students of the school and received the Bruno Pontecorvo Diploma, one of the honorary awards that is presented annually to outstanding young scientists (around 15 participants received diplomas this year).
We sincerely congratulate Aleksandra and wish her further scientific achievements!
