CERN Director General Fabiola Gianotti holds a special press-conference today

  Fabiola Gianotti, CERN Director General,  will hold a special press-conference today. The main topic is expected to be observation in the ATLAS detector of a neutrino with an ultrahigh high energy beating all previous records, including the IceCube data.

GPU Simulation of optical photons. Significant step forward

    Dr. Simon Blyth working at both Daya Bay and JUNO performed a significant step forward  developing a dedicate software package Opticks which performs an optical photon simulation with help of  NVIDIA GPU Technology. A great movie showing almost real time simulation can be found at this link. A presentation of Dr. Simon Blyth at forthcoming NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference on Wednesday April 6th http://www.gputechconf.com can be found here

Writers A. Zhvalevsky and E. Pasternak in Dubna!!!

On 27 March, the authors of popular books for children and teenagers Andrei Zhvalevsky and Evgeniya Paternak come for the first time to Dubna. In the Blokhintsev Universal Library of JINR they will two meetings, with young and grown-up readers. This event is associated with the 60th anniversary of JINR and the Children’s Book Week.

Prestigious B.Pontecorvo prize of year 2015 is awarded to Gianpaolo Bellini

low-energy neutrino detection methods, their realization in the Borexino detector, and the important solar and geo-neutrino results obtained in this experiment. The Jury of the Prize includes distinguished physicists: Samoil Bilenky (JINR), Luciano Maiani (INFN, Italy), Arthur McDonald (SNO, Canada), Alexander Olshevskiy (chair, JINR), Yoichiro Suzuki (Japan).This is recognition of joined efforts of all the Borexino collaboration members. Group of physicists from Dubna provided noticeable contribution to the experiment, participating in its construction and contributing to the data analysis.

The scientists have obtained a new limit on the electron lifetime

The scientists have obtained a new limit on the electron lifetime for the decay to electrically neutral particles (neutrino and photon). Such a decay is forbidden only by the electric charge conservation law, and the absence of photons of energy equal to half of the electron mass is therefore treated by physicists as an experimental proof of this law. As  follows from the results of the investigation, the electron lifetime is at least 6.6x10^28 years. The Universe is much younger, its age is «just» 1.5x10^10 years. The results are obtained with active participation of Dubna physicists and published in the Physical Review Letters journal on behalf of the Borexino collaboration. The article is chosen by the referee as the heading material of the issue. Description on the journal web-site:  http://physics.aps.org/synopsis-for/10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.231802 This is already the second Borexino result chosen as the heading material of the issue this year. This summer the collaboration has published new results on the geoneutrino fluxes, where the neutrino signal from the Earth mantle is observed for the first time.
