The quest for the higgs bosons, sign of the electroweak summetry breaking, is the main purpose of the ATLAS detector, wich will be placed on LHC, the next proton collider scheduled for the year 2007. For my Ph.D. thesis I have prformed analysis of the liquid argon test beam, in this analysis, the comparison for electrons and photons, Position resolution of the barrel electro- magnetic calorimeter and now I am working on photon/pion rejection using photon's data, after this, I will study the detection of the higgs boson at low mass.

For my Ph.D thesis I am working at SINGLET (Measurement of spin singlet amplitude of proton-proton scattering ( in fact measurement of spin correlation parameter Cxx at 80-100 degrees in c.m. and kinetic energies 2.8 - 3.5 GeV)) at Synchrophasotron, JINR. I perform main part of work including all programming support (Monte Carlo simulation, on-line program, and off-line analysis in the future, after data will have been taken), electronic and engineering. Also I am involved in project NIS (search of effects of Nucleon Intrinsic Strangeness) at Nuclotron, JINR. In frame of this project I am writing Monte Carlo simulation and reconstuction programs.

I took my masters degree as part of the BRAHMS collaboration at RHIC, developing vertex determination software and extracting the first measurements of charged particle densities at 130GeV. My current Ph.D. project is a continuation of this work - I do data analysis on several different hadronic observables with the aim of producing detailed particle ratios and yields at a wide range of rapidities and transverse momenta. I am also still involved in software development for the experiment, and making event generator predictions of nucleus-nucleus collisions. The main goal of my thesis is to make a detailed survey of hadronic physics at 200GeV, with focus on the systematics of baryon stopping.

I am currently working on my Ph.D thesis in the field of Elementary Particle Physics at the University in Oslo, within the ATLAS experiment at CERN. The experimental part of my thesis consists of development, tests and production of SCT modules in Oslo as well as system tests, assembly and integration of larger parts of the ATLAS detector at CERN. The theoretical part constists of Monte Carlo simulations of production of a new neutral gauge boson, Z'. The motivation of the thesis is to use the information from the experimental part to evaluate the possibilities of Z' observation and study with the ATLAS detector at LHC.

I am a member of the ZEUS Collaboration, one of the two experiments at HERA ep collider. In M.Sc. thesis, I measured the cross section for J/Psi and Psi' production at HERA (with Psi'-> J/Psi pi+ pi- and J/Psi -> mu+mu-) using ZEUS 1999 data. After graduating I started to work on the analysis of Charged Curren Deep Inelastic Scattering. The main subject of my work is the search for deviations from the Standard Model predictions.Currenly I am studying the leptoquark production in 'ep ->LQ -> neutrino jet' process, using Buchmuller -Ruckl-Wyler (BRW) leptoquark model. I was also a deputy analyses coordinator and worked on the development of the ZEUS data analysis environment. I am a member of ZEUS Warsaw Group and work of Data Quality Monitoring for ZEUS Backing Calorimeter.
