CERN Scientist, Global SHIP Experiment Spokesperson, Professor Andrey Golutvin, Delivered a Public Lecture at GTU
28-10-2025
A famous physicist, scientist from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), global SHiP experiment spokesperson at CERN, and professor of physics at Imperial College London (Great Britain) Andrei Golutvin, who was on a working visit to the Georgian Technical University, delivered a public lecture - New Horizons in Particle Physics with the SHiP Experiment - to the scientific and academic circles and students of GTU.
The public lecture of the speaker of the CERN/SHiP experiment was attended by bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students of the educational programs of engineering physics, mathematics, informatics and computer engineering of the Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems, teachers and researchers of the Department of Engineering Physics, scientists of the Institute of Quantum Physics and Engineering Technologies of GTU, engineers and members of the CERN-LHC group of Georgian Technical University, as well as the famous scientist, the leader of the CERN/CMS experiment Tiziano Camporesi, who was also on a working visit to GTU.
The public lecture was opened by Vice-Rector, Professor Tamar Lominadze. She introduced the gathered public to CERN scientist Andrei Golutvin.
As Tamar Lominadze noted, the spokesperson for the CERN/SHiP experiment and a professor of physics at Imperial College London has been engaged in important research in the field of nuclear and particle physics for many years. According to her, Professor Golutvin worked on the HERA-B calorimeter project at various times, led the LHCb calorimeter project at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, and served as the spokesperson for the LHCb experiment. According to Tamar Lominadze, Golutvin, who has been the initiator of the SHiP experiment since 2013, was chosen by CERN as the spokesperson for this collaboration. The experiment has gained significant recognition in the particle physics community.
According to Professor Zviad Tsamalaidze, Director of the Institute of Quantum Physics and Engineering Technologies of GTU, Leader of the CERN-LHC University Group, and Representative of the Government of Georgia at CERN, the ShiP collaboration is expanding, and currently 250 authors-scientists from 33 leading scientific research institutions in 16 countries around the world are involved in the experiment. According to him, the ShiP experiment was officially approved by the CERN leadership in March 2024, and in the near future, scientists and engineers from the Georgian Technical University will also be actively involved in it.
As Zviad Tsamalaidze noted, the public lecture, featuring the CERN physicist’s extensive experience and significant scientific research, will be of great interest to both students and scientists at the Georgian Technical University.
During the public lecture, “New Horizons of Particle Physics with the SHiP Experiment,” Professor Andrei Golutvin emphasized that the CERN’s SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) experiment is one of the major global projects in elementary particle physics. Its aim is to discover hidden, light, and weakly interacting particles in the universe. The experiment seeks new physical phenomena that could explain the laws governing matter-antimatter asymmetry, neutrino masses and mixing, and the origin of dark matter.
According to the scientist, the ShiP experiment has a unique design that allows the detection of the weakest signals, which is evidence of the existence of unmistakable processes.
The experiment brings together a team of scientists from different countries, including hundreds of physicists and engineers. The results of the experiment can become a blockchain for testing new theoretical models and a deeper understanding of the fundamental laws of elementary particles.
At the end of the public lecture, Professor Golutvin noted that the CERN/ShiP experiment is planned to be implemented from 2031 and the first data collection will be carried out in 2032-2033.
After the public lecture, a discussion and dialogues were held, in which the Director of the Institute of Quantum Physics and Engineering Technologies of GTU, Professor Zviad Tsamalaidze, scientists of the institute, young researchers, and students participated.
On October 29th, at 12:00, the famous physicist and scientist of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and leader of the CERN/CMS experiment, Professor Tiziano Camporesi will hold a public lecture at the Georgian Technical University.
