Analýza meraní z experimentov EUSO-SPB, Mini-EUSO a siete pozemných UV detektorov
Analysis of EUSO-SPB, Mini-EUSO and ground UV detectors experiments measurement
Program: VEGA
Project leader: RNDr. Bobík Pavol, PhD.
Annotation: JEM-EUSO experiment is a project to determine the origin of ultra high energy particles. Its two most important precursor experiments are EUSO-SPB and Mini-EUSO ones. Both of them will yield new data during the years 2017 and 2018. This project is aimed to data processing from both experiments and from the grid of terrestrial detectors of UV radiation. EUSO-SPB is a flight of NASA SPB balloon with EUSO detector which will start in April 2017 from New Zealand fot at least 50 days long flight. Mini-EUSO detector is miniature version of JEM-EUSO detector, which will monitor UV background onboard International Space Station. Mini-EUSO flight and the beginning of its at least half year measurements will start at the end of the year 2017. Department of space physics IEP is building at the same time a grid of terrestrial detectors of UV background, which will start continuos measurements on minimallly 4 positions during the year 2017. Their operation is planned over the full duration of this project.

Modulácia častíc kozmického žiarenia v Heliosfére
Cosmic rays modulation in the Heliosphere
Program: VEGA
Project leader: RNDr. Bobík Pavol, PhD.
Annotation: The aim of the project is to develop a set of models describing a modulation and distribution of cosmic rays (CR) in the Heliosphere. This set of models allow description of actual CR measurements in the Heliosphere,magnetosphere and Earth atmosphere.We would like to make this models accessible for wider scientific community via web pages or in the form of the source codes of the models.

Mikrokozmos – Cez mikrokozmos k poznaniu makrokozmu
Through microcosmos to understanding of macrocosmos
Program: SRDA
Project leader: RNDr. Kladiva Eduard, CSc.
Annotation: We will prepare the traveling exhibition with complementary activities to advertise to general public a research program of the new accelerator LHC in CERN and particular projects ATLAS, ALICE and GRID . There will demostrated a contribution of Slovak scientific teams as well as Slovak industry into the construction and assembling of apparatures and in the research program of this projects. Opportunities for young peoples to join to this top research will presented also. We approach youth people not only using classic art competetion but by using modern competitions of multimedial presentations and technical creativity. By means of this topical oriented competetions we would like to rise the interest of youth for the knowledgie of the particle physics as well as of the scientific research on new experimental devices. Through educational activities this interest will be retained and directed toward the physical and technical scientific disciplines. Therefore an important part of this project is to extend the European project Masterclasses for High School Students in the East-slovak region by using of ICT and various educational methods. Mainly secundary school students will be introduced to the modern physics through an extraordinary activities in the distant and present forms of education.
