SPbPU Is Now An Official Participant In Unique Experiments At The NICA Hadron Collider

 




Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has become a member of the international MPD and SPD colliders of the NICA complex of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna). The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is a new acceleration complex being built at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research to study the properties of dense baryonic matter. Scientists from more than 20 countries are participating in this project. In fact, after the NICA collider is launched, JINR scientists will be able to recreate under laboratory conditions the special state of matter in which our Universe was in the first moments after the Big Bang — the quark-gluon plasma.


SPbPU became an official participant in unique experiments at the NICA hadron collider

Scientists from SPbPU are taking part in experiments at the collider’s two main facilities, the MPD (Multi-Purpose Detector) and the SPD (Spin Physics Detector). The MPD is designed for experiments in nuclear physics related to the study of particle production in proton-proton, proton-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus collisions. SPD (Spin Physics Detector) is intended for experiments in spin physics.


SPbPU, having extensive experience in particle physics, high-energy physics, detector technologies, as well as in the development of systems for the collection, processing and analysis of large data, will perform the following activities as part of the SPD and MPD experiments:


Development of specialized software for specific tasks. In particular, Montecarlian modeling for research and optimization of physical signals and background events

Physics of 3D parton distributions of protons and nuclei and particle correlations

Machine learning for solving SPD and MPD plant problems

Development of electronic modules for the SPD data acquisition system and interface with NICA.

The collider can recreate the special state of matter that our Universe was in in the first moments after the Big Bang

Currently, the research team consists of 17 people, including seven students. The team is headed by Professor of the Higher School of Fundamental Physical Research at the Institute of Physics and Mechanics of SPbPU Yaroslav Berdnikov, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics. It is assumed that in the future the number of participants in the group may be increased.

"Explore the Fourth Dimension"

Fourth Dimension   The fourth dimension is a fascinating concept that has captured the imaginations of scientists, mathematicians, and artists for centuries. Unlike our three-dimensional world, which is limited by the linear flow of time, the fourth dimension is a realm of space and time that exists beyond our everyday experience. One way to visualize the fourth dimension is through the use of a hypercube, also known as a tesseract. A hypercube is a cube within a cube, with additional lines and edges connecting the vertices of the two cubes. It's impossible to construct in our three-dimensional world, but it provides a glimpse into what the fourth dimension might look like. Another way to understand the fourth dimension is through the concept of a wormhole, a theoretical passage through space-time that connects two distant points in the universe. A wormhole is like a shortcut through the fabric of space-time, allowing us to travel vast distances in an instant. While there is no de...

Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first time

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry " spintronic " memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized. Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism , termed "p-wave magnetism." Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism. Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparalle...

Quantum Tunneling Breakthrough: Technion Scientists Move Atoms With Precision

In a groundbreaking experiment at the Technion Faculty of Physics , researchers demonstrated the transfer of atoms via quantum tunneling using optical tweezers. This novel method, which strategically avoids trapping atoms in the middle tweezer, represents a notable stride toward innovative quantum technologies. Quantum Tunneling in Optical Tweezers A new experiment at the Technion Faculty of Physics demonstrates how atoms can be transferred between locations using quantum tunneling with optical tweezers. Led by Prof. Yoav Sagi and doctoral student Yanay Florshaim from the Solid State Institute, this research was published recently in Science Advances. The experiment relies on optical tweezers , a powerful tool that uses focused laser beams to trap and manipulate tiny particles like atoms, molecules, and even living cells. Here’s how it works: when light interacts with matter, it creates a force proportional to the light’s intensity. This force, though too weak to impact larger objects,...
