Congratulations to Gennady Alekseev on his 75th birthday!

Today, on 2 June 2026, marks the 75th birthday of Gennady Dmitrievich Alekseev, head of the Sector of Hadron Physics of the DLNP Department of Colliding Beams at JINR.

The magnetic conductor developed by Rosatom for Russia's first superconducting proton therapy cyclotron MSC-230 has successfully passed factory tests

On 28 May 2026, Atom Media published the article about completion of fabrication and successful factory tests of the magnet conductor of the MSC-230 medical superconducting cyclotron developed by NIIEFA JSC (an enterprise of Rosatom State Corporation) for the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna).

Meeting of the Baikal-GVD Collaboration began

From 1 to 5 June 2026, the Baikal-GVD Collaboration Meeting is taking place at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in a hybrid format. Participants are discussing updates on the deep underwater Baikal Neutrino Telescope and summarising the 2026 winter Baikal expedition results.

First observation of a $B_{c}^{*+}$ meson

Physicists from the ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (CERN) have announced the discovery of a new particle, vector $B_{c}^{*+}$ meson, which is a new excited state containing charm quark and bottom antiquark. The new particle manifests itself as a pronounced peak in the distribution of mass difference between vector and ground states. The statistical significance of the peak exceeds 8 standard deviations.

First observation of single beta decay of $^{96}Zr$

The rarest natural single beta decay of zirconium-96 has been detected for the first time by the scientists from the JINR Laboratory of Nuclear Problems and several other research centers in Russia and Kazakhstan.

Interview with Zoya Marlenovna Karpova, candidate of sciences (physics and mathematics), senior researcher of the Sector 6 of Hadrons and Hadron Spectroscopy of the DLNP Department of Colliding Beams.

Congratulations to our colleagues on obtaining a patent!

Staff members of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research have become an author of the patent of invention "Method for measuring magnetic field in median plane of cyclotron".

Congratulations to the staff members of the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems on obtaining a state registration for computer program!

Staff members of the Department of New Accelerators of the JINR Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, together with a colleague from the JINR Laboratory of Information Technologies, became the authors of the state registration for computer program "CORD (Closed ORbit Dynamics) code for cyclotron electromagnetic field map analysis on closed equilibrium orbits".

V. I. Komarov "M. G. Meshcheryakov: Founder of a New Scientific Field"

The JINR Publishing Department has issued a brochure "M. G. Meshcheryakov: Founder of a New Scientific Field" by Vladimir Komarov, chief researcher at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems.

Congratulations to Leonid Nemenov on his 90th birthday!

Today, on 3 May 2026, marks the 90th birthday of Leonid Leonidovich Nemenov, Chief Researcher at the Department of Particle Physics at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and Professor.

Another expedition to build Baikal-GVD Deep Underwater Neutrino Telescope of cubic kilometer scale completed on Lake Baikal

During the expedition, two more new clusters were installed, three inter-cluster strings with laser calibration light sources were deployed, repairs and upgrades were made to the already installed detector elements, a bottom cable was laid for power supply and data transmission for two clusters, and a full-scale string with optical modules based on 20-inch photomultipliers was commissioned by expedition participants and Chinese colleagues. The effective volume of the facility reached approximately 0.8 km³.
