Conference on New Trends in High-Energy Physics

Dear colleagues, this is to inform you that the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems organizes a conference on New Trends in High-Energy Physics to be held on 2–8 October 2016 in Montenegro. For more information and for application see the conference site:  http://indico-new.jinr.ru/internalPage.py?pageId=2&confId=84

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.

Postdoctoral Scholar in Experimental Particle Physics. DLNP JINR

The Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position in experimental particle physics related to the research in Neutrino physics. Our Neutrino physics research Group  is involved in Daya Bay/JUNO (China) and NOVA (US) experiments.  The successful candidate will participate  in data analysis, development of software and hardware. A Ph.D. in experimental particle physics is required and candidates with experience in neutrino detection and data analysis are particularly encouraged to apply.

Самым выдающимся достижением ожидаемо признана миссия Rosetta к комете Чурюмова — Герасименко. Среди остальных достижений, перечисленных уже в произвольном порядки без оценки относительной значимости, отмечен и результат, в получение которого внесли решающий вклад физики нашей лаборатории. Это измерение потока солнечных нейтрино из первичной pp-реакции в эксперименте Борексино. http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2014/dec/12/comet-landing-named-physics-world-2014-breakthrough-of-the-year
