YEREVAN ”“ The primary goal of the Master’s program started at the Yerevan Physics Institute (YerPhI ”“ A. Alikhanyan National Laboratory) in 2014 was to impart expertise in current research topics based on a deep knowledge of the fundamentals of experimental physics. YerPhI physicists with broad international expertise teach research methods, data analysis and modeling, critical evaluation of scientific findings, and the ability to proceed methodically in high-energy physics and astrophysics. Building on the knowledge gained during the first two semesters, these abilities were strengthened during the one-year-long research phase of the third and fourth semesters.

Since the beginning of the new semester in February 2016, a series of new lectures with invited speakers are planned. Prof. A. Chilingarian, director of YerPhI and head of its Cosmic Ray Division (CRD) has started joint video lecture courses for YerPhI master courses for students of National Research Nuclear University (MePHI in Russia) dedicated to a new scientific topic in which physicists of the Cosmic Ray division have made major contributions; namely “High energy physics in the atmosphere.”
