CRD employee Karen Arakelyan defended the PhD thesis on October , 2012

On 23th  October of  2012  A. Alikhanyan National Labaratory employee  K.Arakelyan in the field of  engineering dissertation defense was held. The theme of the thesis was:  “New electronics for Space Environmental Viewing and Analysis Network (SEVAN) and Aragats Space Environmental  Center (ASEC)”. Arakelyan’s  supervisor was professor Ashot Chilingaryan. The opponents  were  S. Harutunyan and G. Vardanyan from AANL.
   The aim of the dissertation  is  the development of  new electronics that provides operability of existing and newly constructed detectors of elementary particles and the formation of additional information obtained with these detectors. The modern electronic system was created for reliable registration of time series of neutral and charged components of cosmic rays on the modules installed in SEVAN, in    different countries and in  the Aragats Space Weather Center (ASEC) detectors.  The registration all components of secondary cosmic rays, not only of neutrons or muons  as it is done in existing networks, will significantly improve the understanding of modulation effects and create a warning syst
orms.
