Georgian Technical University scientists, in collaboration with the RPC group of the Muon System of the CMS experiment at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), have completed the production of 80 units of improved iRPC cameras and the completely new electronics required for them, as part of the CMS experiment modernization plan.

The improved iRPC cameras final testing will be carried out on the Space Muon Facility, which was built by Yuri Baghaturia and Irakli Lomidze, scientists from the Institute of Quantum Physics and Engineering Technologies of the Georgian Technical University in CERN N904 laboratory.

According to the rector of the Georgian Technical University, cooperation between Georgia and the European Organization for Nuclear Research has been ongoing on for more than 30 years. Within this framework, many Georgian scientists have continued their research activities at CERN.

As Academician David Gurgenidze states, scientists from the Georgian Technical University are successfully working on two of the four main experiments of the European Organization for Nuclear Research – the ATLAS and CMS experiments.

“Georgian Technical University engineers and scientists Otar Kemularia, Yuri Baghaturia, and Irakli Lomidze made a decisive contribution to the cooling system creation required for the new electronics of the cameras. They developed the design of this system. Also, a prototype was manufactured, taking into account the results of its testing, working drawings were prepared and 160 cooling plates and 80 water supply pipes were manufactured, which were sent to CERN and their installation on the cameras began. In January 2025, the installation of new RPC cameras on the CMS facility will begin, and after final testing, they will be included in the physical data acquisition system. I congratulate the scientists and researchers of the Institute of Quantum Physics and Engineering Technologies of the Georgian Technical University on another great success,” states David Gurgenidze.

For information, Academician David Gurgenidze recently paid a working visit to Geneva at the invitation of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). During the visit, the Rector met with Dr. Luca Malgeri, the leader of one of CERN’s largest CMS experiments, the group leader, the CMS experiment’s lead scientist, Professor Tiziano Camporesi, and the head of the RPC group, Dr. Salvatore Buentempo.

After Academician David Gurgenidze’s meeting with the members of the CMS collaboration, was decided that CERN, in order to implement the specific tasks of the CMS collaboration, will contribute to the renovation and arrangement of the modern university physics laboratory at the Georgian Technical University and transfer the latest equipment to the university for this purpose.

It is noteworthy that Academician David Gurgenidze is an associate member of the CMS experiment for deepening the relationship between Georgia and the world’s largest laboratory for elementary particles in physics, the European Organization for Nuclear Research - CERN, and for his contribution to the CMS collaboration and his personal organizational and scientific achievements are huge.
