Laboratory 1010 – High Energy Physics
The High Energy Physics Laboratory within the Institute of Space Science INFLPR Subsidiary (ISS) focuses on research into high-energy physics phenomena, particularly in the context of physics particles and astrophysics.
The laboratory's activities include theoretical and experimental studies on elementary particles, high-energy collisions and fundamental interactions, with the aim of better understand the structure of the Universe.
Also, research is oriented towards the development of advanced technologies for the detection and analysis of subatomic particles and other exotic phenomena. In this regard, the laboratory collaborates with international institutions and participates in large-scale projects. scale, including experiments at particle accelerators around the world.

Study of tau neutrino production from interactions of 400 GeV protons with W/Mo targets at
CERN-SPS.
ISS:
• in charge of silver removal (film developing)
• particle momentum estimation, looking for candidates with quark "c"
• GEANT4 simulations
• provides computing network for collaboration
It studies neutrinos with energies at the TeV scale, with the aim of detecting them for the first time neutrinos produced in crossed beam accelerators
ISS:
• involvement in the nuclear emulsion stability testing process and design
European XFEL electron accelerator
ISS:
• Monte-Carlo simulations
The experiments will use the uniqueness of R3B:
• beam reactions up to 1 GeV
• reconstruction and identification capacity even for the heaviest ions
• multi-neutron tracking capability, high efficiency calorimeter
Development of a micro-controller based on a fast data acquisition module (DAQ)
Focus area - physical properties of asteroids (astrometry, photometry and
spectroscopy)
Projects
Project Manager: Dr. Alexandru Florin DOBRIN
The main goal of this project is to study the system created in heavy ion collisions recorded by the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) using measurements of the angular correlations between the particles produced. In addition, involvement in the development of the readout unit (RU) firmware of the frontal calorimeter (FoCal) as an update to the ALICE detector during Shutdown 3 (2026-2029) will allow us to further study correlations in p-Pb collisions.
Project Manager: Dr. Elena FIRU
The main objectives of the project are to study the production of charm and tau neutrino candidates via Ds decay in proton-W/Mo interactions at 400 GeV/c at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN in the DsTau experiment (NA65) and the interactions of muon neutrinos from the LHC with W nuclei of the FASERν subdetector.
Project Manager: Dr. Veta GHENESCU
The project contributes to the development of a compact electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), optimized for HEP experiments. The research will address both aspects related to sensor design and configuration, as well as advanced computational methods for the analysis and interpretation of experimental data.
Project Manager: Dr. Petru Mihai POTLOG
The main goal of this project is to explore the existence and properties of multi-neutron systems by analyzing experimental data obtained from the R3B experiments at GSI-Darmstadt. This endeavor will use classical data analysis techniques and advanced machine learning methods to identify signatures of multi-neutron systems and extract valuable information on their structure and behavior.
Project Manager: Dr. Bogdan Alexandru DUMITRU
The project aims to improve image quality using astronomy algorithms for better assessment of the health of photovoltaic (PV) panels. By exploiting image calibration, the same signal-to-noise ratio can be achieved in cheaper and lighter cameras.
