FCAL Workshop in September
Over 30 international meetings and conferences have been organized in 2011 dedicated to the project of a future linear collider. Among them the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences has hosted for the second time the Workshop of the Collaboration on Forward Calorimetry (FCAL) at future linear collider. Proceedings are available here. See the Photo gallery

INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS

FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2010-1 project Advanced Infrastructure for Detectors at Accelerators
As an associated partner, the Vinca Institute is participating in the AIDA project (2011-2014) coordinated by CERN, together with over 80 leading European laboratories, contributing to the forward calorimetry instrumentation at ILC and CLIC

Agreement on Cooperation INN Vinca - DESY
In January 2007 the Agreement on Cooperation has been signed between INN Vinca and DESY, the largest European national laboratory for research in accelerator related sciences, based on the HEP Group activity.

German Research Foundation Project
The work related to the proton structure study at the H1 experiment was supported through the project of the German Research Foundation (DFG) No. 436SER113/1/0-1 (2006-2010), carried out at DESY and at the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Belgrade, Serbia.

NATIONAL GRANTS


National project from the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia
In 2011, HEP Group Vinca is granted 4 years national project for fundamental research - PHYSICS AND DETECTOR STUDIES IN HEP EXPERIMENTS.

Grant from the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia
In January 2007 INN Vinca HEP Group has been awarded for realization of the international research project within the H1 Experiment.

EXPERIMENTS

ILC and CLIC
Throughout our activity the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences is participating in the Collaboration on Forward Calorimetry (FCAL) - joining effort of 17 world-wide institutions in instrumentation of the very forward region of a future linear collider (ILC, CLIC).. We are involved in various systematic aspects of the integral luminosity measurement, from physics background to energy-scale effects and the beam-beam interaction.

ATLAS
As off 2008, the Vinca HEP Group is involved in on and off-line operation (Data Quality), detector performance (Flavour Tagging) and physics (B-Phyiscs) at the ATLAS experiment. We support ATLAS operation and analysis with 2 PhD students, a run-coordinator and a trigger on-call expert.

H1
Studies of asymmetric electron (positron) - proton collisions at HERA experiments H1 and ZEUS (1992-2007) gave an experimental insight of the proton structure of the utmost importance for LHC colliding protons as composite objects. Using H1 data, we have performed the measurement of the b-content of a proton that can be further used for F2b and the corresponding cross-section measurements.
This work is summarized in the PhD thesis promoted in 2011 at the University of Belgrade.
