The creation of the NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) collider at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna to study the fundamental properties of the strong interaction is one of the largest scientific projects underway in Russia. Polytechnic University is a full participant in the Spin Physics Detector (SPD) and Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) megascience projects at the NICA collider. Yaroslav Berdnikov, professor at the Higher School of Fundamental Physics Research, is the head of the work at Polytechnic University.
The 10th meeting of the SPD international collaboration, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the particle spin concept, was held at the Veksler and A. M. Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics at JINR. Over 200 renowned scientists and young specialists from around the world participated in the meeting. Daria Larionova, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Physics and Physical Analysis (HSPA), represented SPbPU at the meeting. She discussed SPbPU's contribution to the SPD project in her report, "Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU). Results."
Following the meeting, Daria Larionova was elected to the executive committee of the SPD collaboration, which serves as recognition of SPbPU's significant contribution to the development of the SPD experiment at the NICA collider.
The 16th meeting of the international MPD collaboration was also held at JINR. SPbPU was represented at the meeting by Dmitry Shapaev, a postgraduate student at the Higher School of Physics and Mathematics (HSFPL) (supervised by Professor Yaroslav Berdnikov at the Higher School of Physics and Mathematics). Shapaev is currently involved in the commissioning of the cryogenic system at the NICA collider. At the meeting, Shapaev participated in meetings of the International Council of the MPD collaboration.
