“Status of the MEG II Experiment to Search for the μ+→e+γ Decay at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland” by N. V. Khomutov
- Details
- Category: Seminars
The MEG experiment performed with the world's most intense muon beam at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland is aimed at searching for the muon decay μ+ → е+ γ forbidden by the Standard Model. During 2015−2021, the MEG setup has been significantly upgraded, and now the experiment has moved into the second phase and is called MEG II. In December 2022, the first semi-annual physics data acquisition run was completed with the upgraded MEG II detector. The report presents the status of the experiment and its immediate prospects.

- Category: Chronograph
For over 20 years, the tennis tournament of the Cousins Dzhelepov has been held in Dubna. The cousins Venedikt Petrovich (1913–1999) and Boris Sergeevich (1910–1998) were avid for tennis, and they did a lot to promote it. Both were renowned physicists, corresponding members of the AS of the USSR and RAS, participants of the Atomic Programme of the USSR under the guidance of I. V. Kurchatov, outstanding science administrators, developers of research facilities, authors of many scientific papers. They graduated from Leningrad institutes. The son of B. S. Dzhelepov recalled that both cousins attended the nuclear bomb test on Novaya Zemlya and undersigned the final protocol.
“From Measuring the Distribution of Particle Fluxes in the ATLAS Cavern Towards Computer Tomography” by G. A. Chelkov
- Details
- Category: Seminars
This talk presents one of the new types of particle and gamma-quantum detectors − a hybrid pixel semiconductor detector. The scope of application of such detectors extends from coordinate detectors with a high spatial resolution of the order of tens of microns in experimental particle physics to energy-sensitive X-ray image detectors for medical imaging application. The requirements for detectors of these two directions significantly differ.
Launching Regular Expedition to Construct Baikal Neutrino Telescope

From 17 February 2023, the regular expedition to construct the cubic-kilometer Deep Underwater Neutrino Telescope Baikal-GVD is getting underway at Lake Baikal. During about two months, the Baikal-GVD collaboration plans to install two new clusters of optical modules, three service buoy stations with calibration lasers, to develop further the system of data transmission via optical lines inside the facility, and also to lay two bottom cable lines of cluster power supply.
