FRANCE: Laureates of the LIA competition of students’ projects have been announced

The International Associated Laboratory LIA IDEATE covers R&D and optimization of innovative technologies for the experiments at the particle accelerators and development of accelerator techniques since 2007.

On March 7, 2018 the LIA IDEATE organized at the French Institute (Kyiv, Ukraine) the Conference of students’ projects in cooperation with CNRS, Le Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), L’Université Paris-Sud, Science & Technology Center in Ukraine, Embassy of France in Ukraine, French Institute, Campus France and L’Alliance française.

22 students from Ukrainian universities took part in this competition. The jury selected the following winners of this competition:

  • Borys Knysh: “Studying the photon polarization with B → Kππγ angular analysis in the Belle II Experiment”, Department of Nuclear Physics, Faculty of Physics, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
  • Barynova Kateryna: “Detectability of short gamma-ray bursts by ECLAIRs”, Department of Nuclear Physics, Faculty of Physics, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
  • Oleksandr Burlayenko: “Intrinsic safety of advanced fast reactor working in the nuclear burning wave mode”, O.I. Akhiezer Department of Theoretical Nuclear Physics and Higher Mathematics of the Faculty of Physics and Technology, V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University

Moreover, Vsevolod Yeroshenko (also from the Department of Nuclear Physics, Faculty of Physics, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) was also distinguished for his talk “Development and Tests of First Prototypes of fTOF Detector”. In the summer of 2018, all the laureates will visit the Linear Accelerator Laboratory (Le Laboratoire de l’Accélérateur Linéaire, Orsay, France) and CERN.
