First JINR Prize 2019 for “Experimental Research Work” Awarded to the Scientists from the DANSS Group

At the 127th session of the JINR Scientific Council, annual JINR Prizes were awarded for the best scientific, methodological and technological applied research projects in 2019. Within the category “Experimental Research Work”, the DLNP scientists from the DANSS group received the First Prize for “Measurements of reactor antineutrino energy spectra in the DANSS project”. The members of the DANSS group are V.V. Belov, V.B. Brudanin, I.V. Zhitnikov, S.V. Kazartsev, A.S. Kuznetsov, D.V. Medvedev, M.V. Fomina, Ye.A. Shevchik, M.V. Shirchenko, Yu.A. Shitov. 

COVID-19 Pandemic and Reasonable Steps to Slow It Down

Some of us still seem to refuse to heed public health warnings about the COVID-19 pandemic. The DLNP Directorate has been answering repeated questions for the last few days. In this article, we are going to explain all the measures taken by now and, thus, answer your questions in an appropriate way. At the end of our article you can find several links to the web sites where the spread of the coronavirus is described and demonstrated in detail (animated simulations and graphs) how the strategy of “social distancing” (avoiding public spaces and quarantine) helps flatten the exponential curve and why it is good.

Review of the DLNP Seminar on March 16, 2020 by Yu.A. Shitov and Ye.A. Yakushev “Novel Neutrino Reactor Experiments”

Neutrinos are still distinct sources of scientific discoveries in nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology. The history of neutrino physics is closely interwoven with reactors. Considering that neutrinos participate only in weak interactions, a strong reactor neutrino flux is often the only possibility of studying the properties of this particle.

Participants of the 15th JEMS International Training Programme Visited Our Laboratory

Yesterday, the 15th International Training Programme For Decision-Makers in Science “JINR Expertise for the Member States and Partner Countries” (JEMS-15) was launched. Leaders in science and education, coordinators of the future JINR Information Centres from Armenia, Vietnam, Egypt, Cuba, Turkey, the Republic of South Africa and Russia arrived in Dubna. For the first time Russia was represented by Kamchatka. This time, the Training Programme was organized in a compact four-day format. Today, the attendees have visited our laboratory.

Review of the DLNP Seminar on February 26, 2020 by Andrey Gridin “Studies of the J/ψ Pair Production and the Possibility of Verifying the Hypothesis of the Intrinsic Pion Charm”

The J/ψJ/ψ pair production is a rare and promising process appropriate for studying the single-parton and double-parton scattering (SPS and DPS). The J/ψJ/ψ pairs can also be produced by the hadron intrinsic charm mechanism which has been used for about 40 years to interpret experimental data.

Congratulations to Andrey Sheshukov on His Successful Report Presentation at the 127th Session of the JINR Scientific Council!

The 127th session of the JINR Scientific Council was held on 20-21 February 2020. On 21 February, the young JINR scientists, the PAC Poster Session winners, presented their reports. According to the recommendation of the Programme Advisory Committee on Particle Physics, Andrey Sheshukov (DLNP) delivered the report “Real-time detection of the Supernova neutrino signal”. Congratulations to Andrey on his successful report presentation!

Participants of the Internship for Young Scientists from the CIS Countries Visited Our Laboratory

From 13 February to 14 March 2020, the International Innovative Nanotechnology Centre of the CIS countries along with JINR offers the Internship for Young Scientists from the CIS countries. Within the training programme, all JINR research divisions will be introduced to the participants. The Internship aims to ensure active involvement of young scientists into the cooperation with the JINR laboratories, innovative development of our Institute and further employment of young researchers from the CIS countries at JINR. Today, the interns have visited our laboratory. Oleg Smirnov delivered the lecture “Neutrino Programme at DLNP, JINR”.

On 14-15 July 2020, the Workshop “Low Energy Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics” Will Take Place in Milan

On 14-15 July 2020, the workshop “Low Energy Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics” will take place in Milan. In this workshop, the status of the art, both from theoretical and experimental point of view, of the neutrino physics including solar, reactor, geo-, accelerator, low energy neutrinos, will be explored and, to complete the present state, the astrophysical limits and determinations on the neutrino properties will also be discussed.

Launch of a Regular Expedition on the Baikal Neutrino Telescope Construction

A regular expedition on the Baikal Neutrino Telescope construction was launched. Today, the “Baikalians” had their first working day. Let us wish them luck in achieving their goals set this year! Whenever possible, they are going to share with us their impressions, thoughts, photos and videos. An amazing trip is waiting for us! Join in!
