RAS medal honors the talent of a young researcher

According to the results of the 2022 competition for the medals of the Russian Academy of Sciences for young scientists and students, a researcher of the Accelerator Neutrino Sector of DLNP Scientific and Experimental Department of Particle Physics Lyudmila Kolupaeva was awarded a medal with a prize for outstanding scientific achievements.

A series of papers "Measurement of oscillation parameters in long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiments" in the "Nuclear Physics" nomination was presented for the competition. "In a series of works, the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations is studied, using which the fundamental parameters of this particle can be measured, in particular, the order of neutrino masses, symmetry between fermion generations and CP violation in the lepton sector. This information is important for understanding the nature of such phenomena as supernova explosions, the occurrence of relic neutrinos, evolution and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Neutrino physics is also considered a promising area for searching for new phenomena and going beyond our current understanding of fundamental theory," L.Kolupaeva explained in the interview to the JINR Press Centre.
