Russian scientists will improve the hadron collider
Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University are participating in the upgrade of one of the main detectors of the Large Hadron Collider - at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN).

The official website of the university reports this.
This week a delegation from the LHCb collaboration visited Tomsk. Its representatives reported that in the next two years, in connection with the transition of the Large Hadron Collider to higher powers, the collaboration intends to update the experiment’s detectors, increasing their accuracy and resistance to high loads.
“We started collaborating more than a year ago, even before the university joined the LHCb collaboration. We like the enthusiasm of the polytechnics. We have repeatedly changed ideas about what the design of the detector will be, and the polytechnics quickly made changes to the design and characteristics of their technical product,” said Rolf Lindner, technical director of the experiment, a member of the LHCb steering group at CERN.
During the year of cooperation with LHCb, polytechnicians created 12 different prototypes of an installation for moving expensive detectors.
“Because the detector has become larger, we need to think about the lower and upper elements of our installation. We initially proposed compact rails, but it was decided that much larger rails were needed. Now we continue to work on improving the design of our mobile system,” explained one of the TPU group members in the LHCb collaboration, Gennady Panshin, leading programmer at the Department of Automation and Computer Systems IR.
