Anikó Horváth, a member of our group, won the 1st place in the ELTE Faculty of Science's TDK round with her work titled "Correlation Analysis of Charm (c) Quarks Produced in High-Energy Proton-Proton Collisions with Simulations" (Supervisors: Eszter Frajna, Róbert Vértesi). Congratulations to Anikó for her achievements!

Siklér Ferenc, head of the RMI High Energy Physics Department became a corresponding member in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The new members were introduced at the 195th public assembly of the HAS.

The Quark Matter 2022 - XXIXth International Conference on Ultra-relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions brings together theoretical and experimental physicists from around the world to discuss new developments in high energy heavy ion physics. The focus of the discussions is on the fundamental understanding of strongly-interacting matter at extreme conditions, as formed in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, as well as on emergent QCD phenomena in high-multiplicity proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions.

We successfully applied for the distinguished Wigner Research Group title for the year 2022.

The scientific management of the Wigner Research Centre for Physics awarded the most outstanding groups based on project proposals and past scientific performance with the "Wigner Research Group" title and a corresponding funding budget.

The Zimányi School Winter Workshop, organized jointly by ELTE and the Wigner FK, will take place for the 21st time between 6 and 10 December 2021.

Our colleague Ákos Sudár won the 1st place in the BME Faculty of Technical Informatics' TDK round with his Scientific Student Research Paper titled "Application of Statistics-Motivated Iterative Image Reconstruction Procedure in Proton Computed Tomography." In addition to the ranking, Ákos also received the student scholarship from the Pro Progressio Foundation and a special award from the Hungarian Society of Medical Physics.

Our colleague Endre Futó, a retired member of the High-Energy Physics Division's Hadron Physics Research Group at RMI, received his golden diploma last week at Charles University in Prague.
