6. Experiment STARat 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. RHIC facility arrangement Detector for experiment STAR commissioning

7. Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland Proton Energy 7X7 TeV Circumference 27 km Quark-gluon plasma research General-purpose detector (search for the Higgs boson, particles that make up dark matter etc.)

8. Experiment ATLASat Large Hadron Collider Transition 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. TRC scheme 26 m Main view of TRC MEPhI delegation at experimental hall

9. ExperimentALICEat 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.

10. Fission target study Search for new advanced target types for laser-driven fission experiments.
