Experiment STAR at Brookhaven National Laboratory (USA)
New state of strong-interacting matter was found in experiment STAR at heavy ion collider RHIC. Matter in this state has extremely high density and
temperature. REC researchers took part in this experiment.

Quark-gluon plasma research
General-purpose detector (search for the Higgs boson, particles that make up dark matter etc.)
Proton Energy 7X7 TeVCircumference 27 km
Experiment ATLAS at Large Hadron ColliderTransition Radiation Tracker (TRC) was created and fully tested. This detector was designed for experiment ATLAS at Large Hadron Collider, the largest accelerator in the world. Main designer is MEPhI and REC-011.

Experiment ALICE at Large Hadron Collider
Start detector T0 for experiment ALICE was designed and tested. In this experiment quark-gluon plasma will be researched. This detector is trigger system for all detectors at arrangement ALICE. Detector was designed in
cooperation of several Russian institutes, REC researchers took part in this work.
Fission target study
Search for new advanced target types for laser-driven fission experiments.

Development and stability elements
• organizational and financial support of BRHE
(CRDF and Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, Federal Agency of Education )
• Steady international cooperation: CRDF initiative projects, RFBR grants, direct contracts with research centers еtс. (works on science challenging frontier fields, financial and technical support, high educational standards etc.)
• Steady cooperation with Russian partners
• Field Audit (Sept. 2009) proved REC efficiency
