About
The Department of Particle Interactions and Detection (KOiDC) is a team of several dozen physicists collaborating with leading laboratories worldwide, including CERN, BNL, FAIR, and GSI, to develop advanced solutions in the field of experimental high-energy physics. Within our department, research teams are actively engaged in major experiments conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), such as ATLAS, LHCb, and CMS. In 2024, KOiDC scientists also began collaborating with the European neutrino observatory KM3NeT.
Our activities cover a broad range of research and technologies that support modern physics experiments and the development of innovative measurement systems. These systems are designed for the precise testing of the Standard Model and the search for New Physics. Additionally, our researchers engage in spin-off projects aimed at transferring technologies from fundamental research to applied fields, including medical technologies and cultural heritage preservation.
Our key areas of expertise include:
- Development of radiation detectors – designing and optimizing modern detection systems for scientific applications based on semiconductor, gaseous, and scintillation technologies.
- Real-time triggering and data filtering systems – developing efficient methods for collecting, processing, and transmitting large volumes of experimental data (several petabytes per year).
- Readout electronics design – creating modern and unique high-integration electronic systems that ensure precise measurements and fast data transfer.
- Physics analysis – interpreting experimental results and developing new data analysis methods.
- Artificial intelligence in data analysis – implementing machine learning algorithms and AI-based methods to automate and optimize experimental data processing.
Through collaboration with leading particle physics laboratories and an interdisciplinary approach, our group develops technologies that are crucial for the future of physics experiments. We combine theoretical knowledge with practical engineering solutions, creating cutting-edge innovations for both science and industry.
