Series of Lectures Are Continued At the Master Courses of A. Alikhanian National Laboratory
Physics is more than a collection of facts and equations - it is an evolving conception of the universe through which we seek to understand ourselves
The primary goals of the Master's program started at YErPhI in 2014 are to
impart expertise in current research topics on the basis of a deep knowledge of
the fundamentals of the experimental physics. Research methods, data analysis
and modeling, critical evaluation of scientific findings, the ability to
proceed methodically in high-energy physics and astrophysics are taught by YErPhI
physicists having broad international expertize. Building on the knowledge
gained during the first two semesters, these abilities will be strengthened
during the one-year-long research phase of the third and fourth semesters.
Since the beginning of the new semester in February 2016 a series of new
lectures and invited talks are planned. Prof. A. Chilingarian has started joint
video lecture courses for YerPhI master courses and for students of National
Research Nuclear University (MePHI) dedicated to a new scientific topic in
which physicists of Cosmic Ray division have major contribution, namely “High
energy physics in atmosphere”. Russian students are following these lectures
via Internet, asking questions and sending comments by Internet. Cycle of 6 lectures
will be continued till end of March. Below is the link to master courses of
YerPhI:

In last decade of March, 2016 a foreign member of NAS RA and
former employee of National Lab prof. Alexander Khodjamirian from Siegen
University, Germany is invited to give lecture series at National lab. His
lectures will cover the modern theory of elementary particles, the two most
recent discoveries at Large Hadron Collider, the basics of Quantum
Electrodynamics and the role of hadronic effects in electroweak phenomena.
These lectures are at introductory level and are intended mainly for the
physicists working in experimental groups and for the master/PhD students
specializing in experimental physics.
In May Professor Jean Lilensten, research director at the
Institut de Planétologie et d’Astrophysique de Grenoble (France) is invited to
deliver lectures to YerPhI master students.
These new series of short lecture courses are not limited by these talks only,
but also have tendency to continue including more and more interesting topics
deepening our students’ knowledge.
