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.

An operating mock-up of the Baikal Neutrino Telescope

    At the end of last week, an operating mock-up of the Baikal Neutrino Telescope made by the DLNP staff members A.N. Borodin and D.V. Fedoseev appeared in the vestibule of the DLNP Administrative Building.

A seminar on the history of the DLNP Medico-Technical Complex by V.I. Komarov

    Today a terrific seminar was held, where Vladimir Ivanovich Komarov spoke about the history of the Medico-Technical Complex based on the proton beam of the DLNP synchrocyclotron, about the faith and hope that unites people and gives them strength to overcome the non-overcomable… Particularly valuable is that it was the story told by the one who directly participated in those almost half a century old events. 

Scientific research is élan for me

  That a nice young scientist working in our laboratory! An interview with Lyudmila Kolupaeva by the Moskovskii Universitet newspaper, February, 2018.  

Valery Vasilievich Kobets about the projected upgrading of the LINAK-200 linear electron accelerator

    The possibility of testing prototype detectors in test beams is of crucial importance for scientific methodological research. The fact that JINR is lacking facilities with test electron beams considerably slows down advance in development of new electromagnetic calorimeters, photon imagers, and radiation-hard detectors for future collider experiments. DLNP is preparing a project for upgrading the LINAK-200 accelerator to produce test beams of electrons with energies of up to 800 MeV. It is planned to use LINAK-200 in applied research (radiation materials science, radiation genetics, etc.) and for purposes of education.

Parsamyan Bakur speaks about the results of the experiments on the measurement of spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetries

    For a few past decades the spin structure of the nucleon has been one of the most important among still unraveled mysteries in high-energy physics. Experimental collaborations of the leading international and national laboratories (BNL, CERN, FNAL, DESY, JINR, JLab, KEK, etc.), as well theorists and phenomenologists from all over the world have concentrated their efforts to solve the problem.

Igor Aleksandrovich Suslov speaks about the CDF experiment

    Igor Aleksandrovich Suslov made a review of the methods for top-quark mass measurement used in the CDF experiment and presented the latest published results obtained by the team of the Division of Multiple Hadron Processes, DLNP, from the analysis of the total experimental statistics for the dilepton decay mode.

Congratulatory address of the JINR Director on the JINR Foundation Day

Dear friends, colleagues! I congratulate you on the 62nd anniversary of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research! We celebrate this event summing up the milestones of the 25-year stage of modern JINR development that is connected with political and economic changes in the USSR and some other JINR Member States. This process opened “a new era” of JINR international status development. In 2018, this 25-year jubilee will be celebrated on merit. In February, at the meeting of the JINR Scientific Council, we reported on numerous significant results in the main fields acquired during the past year that have been presupposed by the Seven-Year Plan.
