Short film by Bettina Timm about Cosmic Ray Station on Aragats mountain in Armenia near the lake Qarilich at 3250 meters. The station was founded by world-known Armenian physicists Alikhanyan brothers in 1943. Research facilities are located on two high-altitude stations on Mt. Aragats: Nor-Amberd Station and Aragats Station. Cosmic Ray Division (CRD) headquarters are at the Alikhanyan Physics Institute, Yerevan, Armenia.
One of the researches of the group of scientists on the Aragats Cosmic Ray Observatory was the ANI experiment (Ani is one of the ancient Armenian capitals, now located on the territory of Turkey). This world biggest experiment of detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays was started before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, after the collapse the work was officially stopped. However, Armenian scientists go on researching on various aspects of cosmic rays, hoping to resume the ANI experiment.
The film is in 7 short parts!
