Congratulations from JINR Director on the 65th Institute’s Anniversary

Dear friends, dear colleagues, members of the international Dubna family, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year and puts yet another milestone on the long path of studying fundamental properties of matter by humanity. JINR was established by the founding states as a scientific and research locomotive driven by the talents and energy of researchers from all over the world to learn the laws of Nature. Over these decades, the world and its geography have changed, but JINR has maintained and strengthened in this dynamic situation its position as one of the leading international scientific centres of the world.

In Lockdown 6: Chronicles and Comments

We continue telling you about our visit to the DLNP Metrology Laboratory. Applications of a precision laser inclinometer, developed by scientists from the Section of Laser Metrology of the DLNP Experimental Department of Multiple Hadronic Processes, are quite diverse. We already wrote how the device is used in physical mega-science facilities—colliders and gravitational telescopes.

In Lockdown 5: Chronicles and Comments

The DLNP Group of Scientific Communication visited Section 3 of Proton−Antiproton Interactions of the Experimental Department of Colliding Beams at DLNP. This March, the Section will complete manufacturing Micromegas detectors for new small wheels (NSWs) of the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) according to the LHC Phase 1 upgrade.
