Becoming the second IIT of the country to be associated with world's largest Physics laboratory- CERN, a team from Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I) will leave for CERN in May to contribute in the ongoing research work on the Big Bang Theory.
A two member team of IIT-I comprising Prof Raghunath Sahoo and research scholar Aditya Nath Mishra will be involved in finding out the origin and evolution of universe through experiments associated with the Big Bang Theory.
The team will be at CERN for a duration of two months initially.
Prof Sahoo who established a high energy experimental group at IIT-I is one of the five members who are a part of the ALICE collaboration with CERN under which theywill be carrying out the research work.
"Our research is associated with the Big bang theory and we will be involved in the detector making for the forward calorimeter in ALICE," Prof Sahoo told DNA.
The team including two professors and three research scholars will be associated with the CERN for the next five years.
"Our research will also include physics data analysis which will result in scientific publication and help in understanding the origin and evolution of the ," Prof Sahoo said.
The central government has accepted institute's Rs 2.6 crore proposal for this research work, Prof Sahoo said.
Prof Sahoo has been associated with CERN since his graduation when he participated in the test beam experiment at CERN in 2003.
Six B. Tech students of IIT-I have also applied for a scholarship at CERN.
"This will give an exposure to our research scholars and other students," he said. The Big Bang theory is a cosmological model that describes the early development of the universe.
