Spring, Young Dubna and Young Bruno Pontecorvo

It’s spring. Dubna is young, and so is Bruno Pontecorvo. Do you know the street?

“The Universe through the Neutrino Telescope”

The Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems celebrating the 65th JINR anniversary has made an educational film about the Baikal Neutrino Telescope “The Universe through the Neutrino Telescope”. JINR Director Grigory Trubnikov, INR Director Maxim Libanov, members of the BAIKAL-GVD Collaboration and others were involved in the film.  

The annual expedition to construct the BAIKAL-GVD Deep Underwater Neutrino Telescope of a cubic-kilometre scale has been completed

From 17 February to 4 April 2021, the eighth cluster of the telescope was installed. The effective volume of the facility increased up to 0.4 cubic km. On 13 March 2021, the detector was officially launched, and the Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) on development of the BAIKAL-GVD neutrino telescope.      

Two Pinocchios

One of the most remarkable exhibits at the Museum-Study of Bruno Pontecorvo is plastic Pinocchios wearing aprons and sitting on the tree-like stand. They always get in the focus of visitors’ interest: Why are there such light-minded toys in the study of a scientist? Why Pinocchios? Why in a tree? And who sewed the aprons?

Teaser for the Film “The Universe through the Neutrino Telescope”

The film “The Universe through the Neutrino Telescope” about the Baikal Neutrino Telescope is coming soon. It was made to celebrate the 65th JINR anniversary. JINR Director Grigory Trubnikov, INR Director Maxim Libanov, members of the BAIKAL-GVD Collaboration and others were involved in the film. Watch the teaser!  

Visit of Frédéric Joliot-Curie to JINR in 1958

The column “The 20th century. Everyday life of a researcher” aroused genuine interest in our readers. We decided to keep on introducing you to unique historical photographs and archival documents of our Laboratory in our new “Chronograph” column.

A List of Nominees for the 2020 DLNP Research Award

The list of nominees for the 2020 DLNP Research Award has been approved. The nominees will present their research works at a DLNP seminar on 17 May 2021 at 15.00 via the Zoom platform.  

“Meduza”: Scientists Are as Close to the Discovery of New Physics as Never Before. It Will Change Our Understanding of the Structure of the Microworld (and the Universe)

Igor Ivanov talked about the Standard Model, search for New Physics and the results of the Muon g−2 experiment. https://meduza.io/feature/2021/04/17/uchenye-kak-nikogda-blizki-k-otkrytiyu-novoy-fiziki-ona-izmenit-predstavleniya-ob-ustroystve-mikromira-i-vselennoy

“STIMUL”: For Celestial Collapses and Earthquakes

On 13 April 2021, the article “For celestial collapses and earthquakes” about design of the Precision Laser Inclinometer at our Laboratory was published in the Stimul, the journal covering innovations in Russia. https://stimul.online/articles/science-and-technology/dlya-nebesnykh-kollapsov-i-zemletryaseniy/

Glassblowers

To experience how a fancy glass bubble of a future vessel is coming to life at the end of a blow pipe, the Group of Scientific Communication did not have to go to Venice. There is a glassblowing studio right here, at the Experimental Section of Nuclear Spectroscopy and Radiochemistry (ESNSR) of our Laboratory.

Off we go!

Today we are celebrating Cosmonautics Day! The day on which almost everyone raises their eyes to the sky, thinks about distant stars and space flights. And some of us recall a childhood dream to become a cosmonaut. Scientists from the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems (DLNP, JINR) are conducting space-related basic research: one of the main directions of laboratory activities is astrophysics. 

Seminars on the Results of the First Run of the Muon g-2 Experiment

The Muon g-2 collaboration is performing at Fermilab (USA) an experiment on precision measurement of the anomalous muon magnetic moment ?_? = (g - 2) / 2. To date, ?_? has been most precisely measured in the E821 experiment at Brookhaven (USA), which led to a 3.7-sigma standard deviation from the theoretical prediction of the Standard Model. This long-standing discrepancy is one of the most intriguing hints at New Physics. The results of processing of the data gained during RUN1 in the Muon g-2 experiment will be presented for the first time at the seminars at Fermilab and CERN.
