Department of Nuclear Physics

The History of the creation of the department

      The Department of Nuclear Physics of the Faculty of Physics was founded in 1960. It was headed by Associate Professor L.L. Kashkarev, who selected and trained personnel, acquired the first instruments, organized a scientific seminar on nuclear physics, and developed training course programs.

    With the organization of the department, a lot of work was carried out to create educational laboratories, establish lecture courses, develop and produce modern scientific instruments. At that time, V.M. Ivanenko, D.K. Ryazanov, V.G., Gafurov and Professor V.V. Cherdintsev worked at the department.

       In 1964-1974, the leadership of the department was entrusted to the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences V. G. Gafurov. At that time, active students and graduate students were sent to Moscow to train specialists with the support of the President of the Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, Academician S.U. Umarov and Academician M.S. Osimi. In various years, the department was headed by A. A. Yastrebinsky (1974-1979), G. G. Samoilov (1979-1982), K. Sharipov (1982-1984), N. Sultonov (1985-1991), A. Salomov (1991 -2004), Y. Shukurov (2004-2005), F. Normurodov (2005-2010). From 2011 to the present, the department is headed by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor B.I. Makhsudov.

      Since its founding, the department has expanded its capabilities in teaching atomic and nuclear physics. This ensures high quality education in combination with traditional methods of teaching mathematical and physical sciences and an individual approach to each student. Students take an active part in the work of the department and research teams and are proficient in IT. Many graduates teach at foreign universities.

  The Department of Nuclear Physics trains specialists in nuclear physics, radiation safety and radioecology. Since 2014, the department has organized a recruitment of students in the specialty 33010300-Radioecology.

The department is the core department of the Faculty of Physics and performs the following functions: provides training in the disciplines assigned to the department – lectures, seminars and practical classes in accordance with the teaching load and according to the approved plan, provides consultations to students in the taught disciplines, carries out intermediate and final certification students in the form of ratings and exams based on the results of mastering educational material, organizes and regularly monitors the independent work of students, including their completion of homework, coursework, carries out educational and methodological work, educational and work practice ensuring the educational process is carried out at a high level, carries out educational work among students.
