In commitment to enhance academic upliftment of
students, “Chandrayaan Vipnet Club” Department of Physics has organized one day
National Seminar on “Nucleus and its characteristics”. Dr.Arun Bharti working
as professor in the Department of Physics and electronics, University of Jammu
was invited as a keynote speaker for the seminar. Dr. Bharti has expertise in
the field of nuclear structure Physics. Madam Principal Dr. Mrs. Ajay Sareen
welcomed the resource person and also congratulated the department for
organising the seminar.
Dr. Bharti explained the joy of doing basic research and
how it has changed our lives. He also explained the important steps for
conducting the research. He said our life as a human
on the planet earth is a privilege and laws of Physics make life easier. Prof
Bharti explained that elementary particle or fundamental
particle is a subatomic particle with no sub structure, thus not
composed of other particles. He also explained different fundamental
interactions in nature, which produce significant long-range forces like gravitational and electromagnetic interactions,
whose effects can be seen directly in everyday life, and the strong and weak
interactions which produce forces at subatomic distances and govern
nuclear interactions.
He explained the
Big Bang theory, which is the leading explanation about how the universe began. After that he told the students the Higgs
boson is an elementary
particle in the Standard Model of Particle Physics, produced by
the quantum excitation of the
Higgs field. It is named after physicist Peter Higgs, who in
1964, along with
five other scientists, proposed the Higgs mechanism to
explain why particles have mass. He also
explained why Higgs Boson is also called GOD Particle.
The seminar was very
informative and about 80 students of B.Sc Sem-V and M.Sc Sem I were benefitted
by his lecture. Head of Physics Department Mrs. Saloni Sharma and other faculty
members were also present.
