Within the Time Travel Project. Back in 2016. The “Pervy Kanal” TV Channel about JINR

We continue our Time Travel project and invite you along with the “Pervy Kanal” TV channel to leap into 2016 and recognize there some familiar faces.

Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant is One of the Most Promising Sites to Search for the Neutrino Coherent Scattering Using Bolometers

Neutrino experiments at nuclear power plants are among the promising directions in particle physics. They do not require a great budget, and can solve topical experimental problems from these in astrophysics to those in applied research. Nuclear reactors have long been used for studying neutrinos, and they still remain the most powerful electron antineutrino sources on the Earth. Nuclear reactors made it possible to experimentally detect neutrinos themselves, prove solar neutrino oscillations, and discover the electron-to-tau neutrino oscillations. Recently, studies of coherent elastic neutrino scattering off nuclei have been of great interest.

Video of the Online Seminar on April 7, 2020 by Nikita Balashov “JINR Computing Infrastructure for the NOvA Experiment”

NOvA and DUNE are large-scale neutrino experiments requiring immense computational power to process the obtained data. To expand the computational capabilities of NOvA and to support the DUNE experiment, a computing infrastructure was created at LIT. Now, it is being developed within Topic 1099, “The Study of Neutrino Oscillations”.

How to keep mental health and maintain balance in family life at the time of social distancing and quarantine. Tips from psychologists

Last week, you could find a lot of articles on the Net with tips from psychologists on how to correctly organize your life in a closed space, to effectively use your time, to adopt a new work format and how to keep your mental wellness. Work from home is a new experience, and no wonder that some of us feel really overwhelmed. We gathered the best pieces of advice from experts and put together the TOP 11 simple rules. Following them, we can learn to appreciate pleasant moments of our life and fully enjoy them even now. 1. Schedule your day. Our brain loves routines. They help us navigate through everyday life. Changes confuse our brain. That is why keeping even a part of your morning habits, you will be more focused on your objectives and able to control your attention. Remember intermitting your productive work every 25 minutes by ten-minute breaks. Some of us can relax playing with their cat, walking a dog, cooking lunch or cleaning the floor. Maybe, you would like to listen to a podcast, an audio book, music or to do ten push-ups.

Within the Time Travel Project. Back in 2014. An Educational Film About the 25th Anniversary Meeting of the A2 Collaboration

  The past impacts the present right to the extent a person let it. If a person believes the past determines his/her present, the impact of the past becomes significant. If a person believes the past does non affect him/her in any way, his/her present does not depend on the past. Until there is no connection between the past and the present, a person does not feel the impact of the history. Creating the history, a person changes his/her perception of the reality. The present linked with the past becomes wealthier, more compelling and mindful. And since we have to practice social distancing, let us sometimes merge into our past making our present more complex, meaningful and valuable. We are going to start our journey in 2014.

Team of Biologists from the DLNP Molecular Genetics Sector Were Granted Their First Patent for Invention

Congratulations to the team of our biologists, Elena Vladimirovna Kravchenko, Artyom Nikolayevich Rusakovich and Anastasiya Yevgenyevna Ivanova, on obtaining the Patent for Invention “Risk Prediction Method for Disorders Related to the E (IgE) Immunoglobulin Level in the Human Blood Serum”! We heartily wish you to reach new heights and to find inspiration for further innovative ideas!

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.
