Our foreign colleagues

International cooperation is one of the most important items in the scientific area. Large modern physical experiments can not be created by the efforts of the one university; such projects require a large and stable financing and experts experience from different fields. National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI"  actively supports international connection. There are many foreign professors among university staff. Our center of Fundamental Research and Particle Physics (CFR) has remarkable team of scientists including several foreign professors.

Prof. Patrick Berghaus has been a member of the IceCube  collaboration since 2004. He is currently working in the Research and Education Center NEVOD (Muon Water Detector). Patrick Berghaus has been involved in data analysis, in particular the measurement of atmospheric muons spectrum and study of charmed hadron contribution to cosmic ray air showers. From 2010 to 2013 Prof. Berghaus headed the Muon Research group and continued his work on the development of analysis methods in IceCube. At the moment Prof. Berghaus participates in several projects at MEPhI, the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) and the IceCube collaboration.

Prof. Piero Spillantini is a member of Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics (PAMELA) collaboration and one of the creators of Calorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET). Prof. Piero Spillantini works in the Department «Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics» (№7). Prof. Spillantini group studies magnetosphere effects as part of the PAMELA experiment and takes an active part in the "Gamma Astronomical Multifunctional Modular Apparatus" (GAMMA 400) project.

We look forward for future international cooperation and hope that collaboration with experts from other countries will be useful and interesting for both sides.
