3 Preface Wstęp

The Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science (FPACS) is one of the fif- teen Faculties of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow. The origins of the Faculty are dated back to 1919, when the Academy of Mining was founded, within which the Chair of Physics was erected. It has undergone sev- eral organizational transformations until in 1991 the AGH Senate has decided to form the Faculty of Physics and Nuclear Techniques. In 2004 the name was changed to Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, accordingly to the changes in the fields of scientific and educational activity.

Scientific activity of the Faculty comprises both basic and applied research in solid state physics, nuclear and elementary particles physics, medical physics and physics of the environment.

The Faculty is the Leader of the "Marian Smoluchowski" Krakow Scientific Con- sortium that has been awarded the status of the Leading National Research Centre (KNOW) for 2012-2017.

There are six departments within the Faculty:

1. Department of Applied Informatics and Computational Physics (Katedra Informatyki Stosowanej i Fizyki Komputerowej) 2. Department of Applied Nuclear Physics (Katedra Zastosowań Fizyki Jądrowej) 3. Department of Medical Physics and Biophysics (Katedra Fizyki Medycznej i Biofizyki) 4. Department of Solid State Physics (Katedra Fizyki Ciała Stałego) 5. Department of Particle Interaction and Detection Techniques (Katedra Oddziaływań i Detekcji Cząstek) 6. Department of Condensed Matter Physics (Katedra Fizyki Materii Skondensowanej)

All together 177 persons are employed including 118 scientists and 59 technical and administrative staff. There are 46 full professors and 72 assistant professors or post-docs.

Faculty offers several degree programs leading to B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. de- grees. The undergraduate studies consist of seven-semester bachelor programs in three distinct areas: technical physics, medical physics and applied computer science. They are followed by three-semester graduate programs, leading to the M.Sc. degree in the various specializations.

Area: Medical Physics; specializations: Dosimetry and Electronics in Medicine, Imaging and Biometrics

Area: Technical Physics; specializations: Computer Physics, Solid State Physics, Nuclear Physics, Environmental Physics

4 Area: Applied Computer Science; specialization: Computer Techniques in Science and Technology.

Faculty members teach both general physics courses and selected branches of physics for students of twelve Faculties of the AGH-UST. The teaching covers both reading lectures as well as organizing tutorials (physics problems classes) and laboratory work. Faculty’s teaching assignments for students of other facul- ties include both undergraduate and graduate levels. Some of lectures are of- fered in English. Faculty organizes complementary courses for the 1st year students of the Uni- versity in physics (parallel to complementary courses in mathematics, organized by the Faculty of Applied Mathematics). The aim of the courses is to fill possi- ble gaps in the high-school education that discourage young candidates from electing technical- and science-oriented areas of study and – for the candidates who undertook such studies – increase the efficiency of the training.

Faculty hosts three four-year programs of Ph.D. Studies in Physics. The first of them are the regular Ph.D. studies in the fields related to the research interests of Faculty members, i.e. technical nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, nuclear electronics, environmental physics.

The second Ph.D. program started on the 1st October 2009 co-organized with Cracow’s Institute of Nuclear Physics and Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry (both Institutes are units of the Polish Academy of Science – PAS). The program under the name “Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Studies (ISD): Advanced Materials for Modern Technology and Future Energetics” is financed by the EU Structural Funds (Program: Kapitał Ludzki). The ISD goal is training high- class specialists, with the Ph.D. degree, in fields recognized as strategically im- portant in EU and presented under the general terms: Info, Bio, Nano and Techno. The program of the Ph.D. studies covers a wide variety of physical, chemical and technological topics in materials science and modern energetics.

Finally, the third Ph.D. program run in co-operation with Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry of PAS and selected research institutes of 10 European countries is a common International PhD program in Nanoscience. The project is financed by European Union Innovative Economy Program acting via Founda- tion for Polish Science. It had been selected for financial support as one of three projects in the first call for the International PhD Studies Programs and started in September 2008. Research is scheduled for 4 or 5 years, of which 6 to 24 months the students will spend abroad, mostly in Western European institutes that belong to the consortium.

Faculty offers also a three semester Post-diploma (part-time) Study for Teach- ers. The studies are intended for primary and secondary school teachers, who want to gain additional qualifications giving them right to teach: physics, math- ematics, chemistry, computer science, natural sciences and technical educa- tion.

78 Manipulation of a single electron spin in a quantum dot without magnetic field

S. BEDNAREK, J. PAWŁOWSKI, AND A. SKUBIS

In this paper we propose the construc- tion of a nanodevice performing the spin rotations of an electron confined in an electrostatic quantum dot without the use of a magnetic field. Sinusoidally varying voltage applied in different phases to four gates causes the elec- tron to move along a two-dimensional closed path. The spin-orbit interaction that is present in the structure induces spin rotations.

The observed significances for the statistically inde- pendent 7 and 8 TeV data samples both exhibit a peak at ~126 GeV, at which they are 3.6σ and 4.9σ, respectively. Uncertainties in the relative energy scales of the detector for electrons and muons reduce the combined local sig- nificance to 5.9σ. The global signifi- cance of the excess is ~5.1σ.
