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.

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.
