Theoretical Analysis of the BM@N Experiment Results Presented at the International Forum “Nuclear Science and Technology” (Almaty, Kazakhstan)

From 20 to 24 September 2021, Yuri Nikolaevich Uzikov, leading researcher of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, took part in the III International Forum “Nuclear Science and Technology” at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan (Almaty). The forum was devoted to the 30th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

First Results of the vGeN Experiment on Coherent Neutrino Scattering

The first results were obtained at the νGeN experimental facility aimed at the search for coherent neutrino scattering and other interactions. At present, coherent elastic neutrino−nucleus scattering is an intriguing task for modern physics. This process has not been detected for reactor neutrinos yet. After detection, it will open the way to search for New Physics by the search for nonstandard neutrino interactions, search for sterile neutrinos, and other investigations. Moreover, it will open up the possibility of applied research like reactor monitoring and remote control.

Seminar to Mark the 70th Birthday of Professor Yu. G. Kudenko

The Institute for Nuclear Research (INR) of the Russian Academy of Sciences will hold a seminar devoted to the 70th birthday of Yuri Grigorevich Kudenko, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, chief researcher, head of the INR Department of High-Energy Physics. The seminar will be held online via the Zoom platform.

An Important Milestone Passed: New Tasks of the DLNP Experimental Department of Colliding Beams in the Medipix4 Collaboration

Since 2015, work on one of the top-priority DLNP directions, Theme 04-2-1126-2015/2023 “New semiconductor detectors for basic and applied research” has been underway at the Experimental Department of Colliding Beams (EDCB) of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems in close cooperation with the International Medipix Collaboration. Collaboration members are aimed at the development and design of unique matrix chips for semiconductor pixel detectors, including X-ray imaging detectors. Scientific cooperation between the EDCB group and this collaboration started as far back as 2008. By 2011, the world’s first pixel detector with a sensor of high-resistance GaAs and a Timepix chip was developed.

What Neutrino Telescopes Are Needed for, What are Neutrinos and in Which Way Scientists Catch Them

The DLNP senior researcher Bair Shaybonov was involved in the main event of the Science and Technology Year in Russia, the festival “Tekhnosreda” (Techno-Environment) which was held at VDNKh in Moscow last weekend. Bair talked about the Baikal-GVD Deep Underwater Neutrino Telescope, one of the top-priority projects in neutrino physics of the Dzhelepov Laboratory.

The Second Stage of the Biological Experiment at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory

In September 2021, the group of researchers from the Sector of Molecular Genetics of the Cell (SMGC) of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems performed Stage II of the experiment at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory (BNO) of the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INR of RAS) on the study of ultradeep microbial communities inhabiting the extreme environment near the Elbrus magma chamber. Water, soil and inorganic sediments were sampled in an underground hot spring at a distance of 4200 m away from the cross-passage entrance.

Science Communication. First-Hand Experience of D. V. Naumov

The second day of the meeting “Mediation: Interaction with a Visitor, Science Communication” organized by the Polytechnic Museum is over. Deputy Director of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems Dmitry Vadimovich Naumov shared his science communication experience. He explained what science popularization is, why it is necessary and for whom. Lively examples from the life of the educating scientist truly impressed all the meeting attendees.

Spartak Korenchenko is 95

On 16 September, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor Spartak Mikhailovich Korenchenko turns 95. Spartak Mikhailovich started working in Dubna even before the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research was established ― at the Hydroengineering Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (ASU) in 1952 (since 1953 ― the Institute of Nuclear Problems of ASU, since 1956 ― the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems (LNP) of JINR).

Why the Scientist Should Educate

Mark Shirchenko, a senior researcher of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, one of the translators of the sitcom “The Big Bang Theory”, took part in the workshop of the Polytechnic Museum “Mediation: Interaction with a Visitor, Science Communication”.

Commemorating S. M. Polikanov

Today, it is the 95th birthday of a renowned scientist, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (ASU), Sergey Mikhailovich Polikanov. In 1950, after graduating from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, S. M. Polikanov started his career at the Institute of Atomic Energy where he worked under the guidance of G. M. Flerov. Since 1957, the scientist continued working with G. M. Flerov at the Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.

Egypt−JINR: Today and Tomorrow

From 13 to 14 September 2021, the delegation of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research headed by the JINR Director, Academician G. V. Trubnikov is on an official visit to Cairo. The delegation is participating in the event “Egypt—JINR: Today and Tomorrow”. Today, the Deputy Director of Science D. V. Naumov, the Head of the Experimental Department of Colliding Beams A. V. Guskov and the Head of the Sector of Molecular Genetics of the Cell E. V. Kravchenko are taking part on behalf of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems in the plenary session «Strategic Opportunities for Advancing Global Collaborative Perspectives Towards Achieving 2030 Main Research Goals».
