CRD Research profile and main achievements(2017-2018) (Jan 8, 2021)
In 1942, the famous physicists brothers Abram and Artem Alikhanian organized a scientific expedition to Mount Aragats and started cosmic ray detection with various particle detectors. They have found high-energy protons and deuterons in the flux of cosmic rays and several new unstable particles (called by them varitrons). These studies laid the foundation for the regular... -
Travel report of A. Chilingarian on participation in the workshop: science at the Pierre Auger... (Apr 30, 2011)
The main role of the world biggest Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina is to study the highest energy cosmic rays, but now the collaboration is interested in opening the facilities to scientists from other disciplines. The meeting in Cambridge was being organized to this end and studies of thunderstorms and cosmic rays were of upmost interest. I made invited talk on “Particle... -
