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-control 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 F
2
b
and the corresponding cross-section measurements.
This work is summarized in the
PhD thesis
promoted in 2011 at the University of Belgrade.
