Yerevan-CHEP-2025 discusses high-energy physics at YSU

Now held for the second time, the conference is dedicated to the latest experimental and theoretical advances in high-energy physics. It serves as a platform for leading experts, scientists, and young researchers to discuss various theories, approaches, methods, and techniques in physics.

Rafayel Barkhudaryan, YSU Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, highly valued the significance of hosting such an international conference and uniting renowned scientists at YSU. He emphasized the importance of collaborative scientific work and cooperation, noting that this event will promote the expansion of knowledge, theory, experience, and practical applications in the field of high-energy physics.

"It is a great honor for me to welcome you at Yerevan State University as part of the International Conference on High-Energy Physics. We are proud to host you at the university, which has a rich scientific tradition. I am hopeful that during the upcoming days, this conference will unite our efforts, strengthen international cooperation, and stimulate new research in the field," said Rafayel Barkhudaryan. 

Gevorg Karyan, Director of the A. I. Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory (YSU Institute of Physics), expressed his pleasure in welcoming the participants to Yerevan once again for this conference devoted to high-energy physics. He recalled that during the first meeting in 2023, the parties had pledged to continue this conference format, and today’s event confirms the fulfillment of that promise and the continuity of the initiative.

Gevorg Karyan noted that many of today’s participants also attended the first conference in 2023, and he expressed delight that this year’s event includes researchers visiting Armenia for the first time. In this context, he briefly introduced Armenia, highlighting the country’s geographical position and characteristics, describing it as a small nation of about 3 million people with a rich culture, scientific heritage, and significant contributions to the international scientific community.

Among the attendees was Sergei Shmatov, Director of the Information Technology Laboratory at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, who underscored the importance of holding such scientific gatherings. He noted that the event has become a traditional and crucial platform for interaction among members of the scientific community, as well as for discussing ongoing and future projects. Shmatov particularly emphasized the participation of young scientists and the opportunity to establish direct connections with them through meetings of this format.

The series of presentations was opened by Professor Dmitry Kazakov, who spoke about the current state and future prospects of high-energy physics.

The conference program includes approximately 60 presentations, providing participants with opportunities for broad and multifaceted discussions on the latest scientific achievements.

According to the participants, the Yerevan-CHEP-2025 not only strengthens international scientific cooperation but also serves as an important platform for acquiring new knowledge and fostering scientific collaborations in the field of high-energy physics.
