The Department of Physics of Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), in cooperation with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of this university, held the 2nd cooperation meeting of the country's universities with CERN.
This conference, which was held on September 14, aimed at expanding cooperation with specialists in the country to motivate and attract young people in order to better promote scientific research and education related to CERN.
Dr. Hamed Bakhshian Sohei (Secretary of the Committee), Dr. Abideh Jafari and Dr. Ahmad Shirzad from the Department of Physics of IUT and Dr. Ahmad Gholami and Dr. Mohammad Sedghi from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Isfahan University of Technology with a group of students from the Department of Physics of IUT are members of the organizing committee of this event.
In addition to the aforementioned meeting, a three-day CERN School on CERN activities was planned for interested students and researchers with a focus on project implementation with part of the CMS test data.
CERN is the largest laboratory complex in the world in the field of particle physics and nuclear physics, which was created about 66 years ago, in 1954 by the European Organization for Nuclear Research and during this time conducted several studies led by the world's top scientists (Including 6 Nobel Prize winners).
The center which is "discovering the secrets of the origin of the world", now employs more than 3,000 physicists and engineers as resident staff in various theoretical and laboratory fields, and more than 6,500 scientists from 500 universities. They come from 80 countries in the form of short-term visits, which shows the great and unique scientific cooperation of scientists and researchers in the field of science in the world.
CERN's largest current program, in addition to various researches in nuclear and particle physics, is the implementation of the LHC, or Large Hadron Collider, as the world's largest science project, a particle accelerator with unparalleled energy and complexity. It is unprecedented and the result will be a global partnership to uncover a new hidden part of the truth.
