Yerevan Physics Institute (YerPhI) was founded in 1942 by brothers Abraham Alikhanov and Artem Alikhanyan as a branch of Yerevan State University. In 1943, YerPhI acquired the status of the Physics Institute within the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR․Later on, two cosmic ray stations were set on Mount Aragats: Aragats (3200m) and Nor Amberd (2000m). In 1963, YerPhI was under the governance of the State Committee of the Atomic Energy of the Soviet Union. In September 2011, according to the decision by the RA Government, Yerevan Institute of Physics was reorganized into “A. I. Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory (AANL, Yerevan Physics Institute)” foundation. A.I. Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory has significantly strengthened its status as a scientific leader in Armenia, annually having more than 30% of all scientific publications in international journals with the highest impact factor. According to Thomson Reuters, AANL stands out with the 70% of the citations to the entire scientific work of Armenia. This accounts for the AANL scientists mainly publishing in high-impact journals.
