Baikal Neutrino Telescope: conclusion of the summer season and preparations for winter

The summer expedition at the shore station of the Baikal Neutrino Detector is coming to an end. The work was primarily aimed at preparing the mechanisms and ice equipment for the upcoming winter expedition to deploy new clusters of the Baikal-GVD Neutrino Telescope.

Establishment of tardigrade laboratory lines at JINR as a basis for studying the molecular principles of radioresistance and cryptobiosis

This summer, staff members of the DLNP Sector of Molecular Genetics of the Cell selected tardigrades (Tardigrada type) from the environment of the DLNP site and now they are cultivated in laboratory conditions. These organisms have already become model ones for studying cryptobiosis, conducting research in the field of radiation biophysics, cosmic biology, and studying effects of physico-chemical stress factors.

Birthday of Bruno Pontecorvo and a new phase in archiving his documents

On 22 August, we will celebrate the birthday of Bruno Pontecorvo, an outstanding physicist, who worked in the JINR Laboratory of Nuclear Problems for more than 40 years. The laboratory carefully preserves the museum-study that was recognized as a historical site of the European physical society. The participants of the JINR-HSE University school "Archival Impulse – 2026" compiled an initial inventory of documents that can be attributed to the B. Pontecorvo collection of the JINR Historical Archive.

Lecture recordings from the XXVI Baikal International Summer School on Physics of Elementary Particles and Astrophysics have been published

The lecture recordings from the XXVI Baikal International Summer School on Physics of Elementary Particles and Astrophysics have been published on the website of the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization "Scientific and Methodological Center 'Teach-in'". The school was held in the village of Bolshie Koty, Irkutsk Region, at the Baikal Biological Station of Irkutsk State University (ISU) from 11 to 18 July 2026.

BESIII collaboration reports dominant glueball contribution to X(2370) resonance structure

At the International Conference on High-Energy Physics 2026, the BESIII collaboration presented compelling evidence for the existence of a glueball, sought by the scientific community for more than 50 years. After fifteen years of sustained research, the BESIII Collaboration identified that the dominant constituent of the X(2370) is a pseudoscalar glueball with spin-parity quantum numbers of 0⁻⁺. The JINR group in the BESIII is actively involved in studying hadron spectroscopy and searching for exotic state

Baikal Summer School. Day 7

Today was the last day of the 26th Baikal International Summer School, the day when the participants come back home with new knowledge, new friends and new memories; with their bags heavy with not only souvenirs, but also overwhelming emotions; with notebooks full of lecture summaries and ideas; with a poignant feeling that seems to be the beginning, not the end…

Baikal Summer School. Day 6

Today was the last lecture day. In the morning Maxim Barkov (INASAN) told “How to make jets fast, powerful and variable”, and Elena Nokhrina told about “Magnetic fields in AGN jets”. Two parts of the lecture “Radiation and particle acceleration processes in relativistic outflows” were delivered by Evgeny Derishev (IAP RAS) before and after lunch.

Baikal Summer School. Day 5

Before lunch, School participants continued with three lectures, the first parts of which were held yesterday: "Gravity, Black Holes and all that" by Emil T. Akhmedov (MIPT, ITEP), "Stars and New Physics" by Sergey Troitsky (INR RAS), and "UHE Neutrino Telescopes" by Grigory Safronov (INR RAS). After lunch, a lecture "Vortex states" was given by Dmitry Karlovets (ITMO University). The students together with their mentors are continuing to work on group projects.
