Возможно, так лучше?
I was born in Smolensk, the city that is 400 km distant from Moscow. I was first introduced to physics during my last years in high school when in the 8th grade I entered an advanced class focused on mathematics and physics. After my 10th grade I was so interested in studying physics that I decided to apply to Advanced Education and Science Center (AESC) Kolmogorov School at Moscow State University. I passed the preliminary examination successfully and entered a one-year advanced class focused on mathematics and physics. The year of intensive studying strengthened my aspiration for studying physics and to enter the Physical Faculty at MSU became my next goal. My success in annual competition «Lomonosov» in fields of mathematics and physics enabled me to enter MSU without preliminary examinations.
During first three and a half years at MSU I took a range of general physical and mathematical courses and became even more convinced that physics is what I want to devote myself to. When in 2009 time came to choose my field of study, I realized that nuclear physics and physics of elementary particles were extremely intriguing for me. That is why I entered the Department of General Nuclear Physics and began my research work in the field of theoretical investigations of nuclear excitations.
Under the guidance of my adviser, Dr. XX, I worked on the problem of theoretical description of giant dipole resonances in open-shell nuclei. This problem is a formidable challenge to the nuclear theory. Although giant resonances were under intensive experimental and theoretical investigation during the last decades, there is still no satisfactory method of description of individual structures, fragmentations and widths of multipole excitations of open-shell nuclei. Our approach based on the advanced version of multiparticle shell model and on the connection between semi-direct reactions of nuclear excitation and direct pickup reactions permits to get some progress in understanding of mechanisms of multipole resonances.
For the first time we obtained the cross-sections of photodisintegration of the 48Ca, 46Ti, 48Ti and 50Ti nuclei on the basis of the advanced version of multiparticle shell-model using the spectroscopy data on direct pickup reactions. The results of our theoretical calculation are in good agreement with experimental data.
I presented the main results of our work at 60th and 61st conferences «Nucleus-2010» and «Nucleus-2011» on problems of nuclear spectroscopy and structure of atomic nucleus in Saint-Petersburg and Sarov. These results were published in the Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Physics, 2011, Vol. 75, No. 11, pp. 1540–1543) and would be published in the Bulletin of RAS (Physics, 2012).
Besides, I participated in annual interuniversity meetings «Concentrated energy flows in cosmic technology, ecology and medicine» and annual scientific conference «Lomonosov’s readings». Participation in conferences and scientific meeting gave me a unique opportunity to communicate with scientists of different ages and different scientific interests.
In December 2011 I defended my thesis and graduated from MSU with honors. My research work on problem of nuclear resonances caused my interest in physics of intermediate energies and nucleon’s excitations. I have the strongest intention to start my research in these areas and I am confident that the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University YY is a perfect fit for me. I have contacted Professor ZZ and his willingness to work with me has further strengthened my decision to apply to graduate school at University YY.
I would regard my admission to the University YY as a great honor and responsibility, and would work hard to be among your top alumni.
