The Cosmic Ray Division (CRD) of the Yerevan Physics Institute is continuing its research and educational operations during the COVID-19 crisis. Staff are able to work from home as most of CRD’s instruments can be operated remotely. The two research stations on Mt. Aragats also are continuing to operate. Weekly seminars and webinars continue via Zoom with both Armenian and international participants. Recently two refereed scientific journals cited 15 of CRD’s research reports testifying to the significance of CRD’s research.
