Research
The institute with 6 GeV electron ring accelerator (the largest in USSR) is located on 300,000 square meters. YerPhI also has two high-altitude Cosmic Ray Stations on Mount Aragats (3,200 m) and Nor Amberd (2,000 m).
The scientific activities of YerPhI include:
- Researches on quantum field theory and statistical physics,
- Investigations of electromagnetic interactions of hadrons and nuclei in the intermediate energy range, executed on the photon and electron beams of YerPhI accelerator.
- Investigations on the bases of the accelerators abroad (international collaborations at TJNAF, HERA, CERN, JINR).
YerPhI groups actively participate in construction of the Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes at the Canarias islands and in Namibia.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
