General Laboratory Seminar by V.I. Komarov on 29 May 2018

    Vladimir Ivanovich Komarov speaks at his seminar “Dibaryon resonances and ABC effect”. 

Seminar by Dmitri Semikoz at DLNP on 24 May 2018

    Dmitri Semikoz (Directeur de Recherche CNRS, Paris) demonstrated that the standard static model of galactic cosmic rays  suggested in 1990th came into conflict with a lot of modern experimental data, including variability measurements of the cosmic ray flux in the Galaxy, magnetic field measurements, and a great deal of anomalies in local observations of cosmic rays.

Young scientists and specialists from CIS states visited DLNP

 

Popular-science film about the ATLAS experiment

The year 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of the world’s largest scientific collaborations, the ATLAS collaboration, established in 1992 for carrying basic research at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. JINR joined the preparations for the international ATLAS experiment as early as the preliminary R&D stage and became one of its main participants. The film is dedicated to this significant event. 

Nikolai Azaryan on manufacture of superconducting niobium cavities

    Nikolai Azaryan speaks about a pilot batch of elliptical single-cell superconducting cavities for the frequency of 1.3 GHz manufactured by hydroforming and electron-beam welding of highly pure niobium. The manufactured cavities feature long stable superconductivity. The measured figure of merit is no less than 10^10. See the full video of the seminar here.  

Congratulations to Aleksandr Simonenko on successful defence of the candidate of science dissertation!

On 27 April 2018 at the session of the DLNP Dissertation Council Aleksandr Valerievich Simonenko defended the dissertation “Development of a control system and study of characteristics of CDFII muon counters for experiments at the Tevatron” for getting the degree of the Candidate of Sciences in Physics and Mathematics under speciality category 01.04.01: instruments and methods of experimental physics. We heartily congratulate Aleksandr on the successful defence of the dissertation and wish him new creative achievements!  

Darina Zavazieva (TPU) speaks about her scientific methodological seminar held at DLNP on 26 April 2018

        A coordinate detector section is built and put into operation at the Colliding Beams Division, DLNP, for constructing coordinate detectors of the bulk MicroMegas type.

Lecture “DLNP Science and Technology Programme” by D.V. Naumov for trainees from the JINR Member States

On 19 April 2018, Dmitri Vadimovich Naumov gave the lecture “DLNP Science and Technology Programme” in the DLNP conference hall for the trainees from the JINR Member States within the framework of the 6th International Practical Training “JINR Experience for the Member States and Partner States” (JEMS). The participants came from Vietnam (University of Dalat, Dalat Nuclear Research Centre), Italy (INFN), Cuba (Cuba’s Isotope Center), Russia (North-Ossetian State University, Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys), and South Africa (IThemba LABS). 

International School on Astroparticle Physics (ISAPP), Ferrara (Italy), 2-12 July, 2018

The Using Particle Physics to Understand and Image the Earth is an initiative supported by the International School on Astroparticle Physics (ISAPP), a network including 36 institutions and doctorate schools having the mission of encouraging students exchanges and developing a joint education through the organization of Summer Schools and Summer Institutes in theoretical and experimental Astroparticle Physics. 

Congratulations to the NOvA group, a winner of the competition for the Russian Science Foundation (RSF) grants!

On 2 April 2018, winners of the competition for grants in the priority area of RSF activities “Basic scientific research and exploratory scientific research conducted by small research teams” were announced. Among the winners is the DLNP research team headed by Prof. A.G. Olshevsky.  The project “Measurement of neutrino oscillations in the NOvA experiment” supposes participation in solution of fundamentally important problems, such as accurate determination of the neutrino oscillation parameters, determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy, and search for CP violation in the lepton sector. The DLNP Directorate heartily congratulates the winners of the competition and wishes the team further success and achievements! {nomultithumb}  

Igor Romanovich Boiko did a review of the currently projected electro–positron colliders and physical researches at them

    The LHC experiments have yielded a great deal of results, the most remarkable of which is the discovery of the Higgs boson. Nevertheless, new experiments are needed to establish the most fundamental principles governing the structure of the Universe.  

JINR Director V.A. Matveev and Vice-Director B.Yu. Sharkov at DLNP

JINR Director V.A. Matveev and Vice-Director B.Yu. Sharkov visited the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, where they met with V.A. Bednyakov, D.V. Naumov, V.V. Glagolev, and A.A. Kul’kov.  The guests were shown the operating mock-up of the Baikal Neutrino Telescope made by the DLNP staff members A.N. Borodin and D.V. Fedoseev. They also visited recently refurbished Building 4, where they assessed the quality of the refurbishment and got acquainted with new laboratories.
