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.

New results of the DarkSide-50 experiment

The DarkSide-50 experiment in operation at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories in Italy reported important new results on its search for dark matter, at the UCLA Dark Matter 2018 conference and at the Lake Louise Winter Institute 2018. DarkSide-50 was designed as a search for high mass (>50 GeV/c2) Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) where the critical feature is background rejection. Analysis of a 530 day exposure has just been completed and the result is a convincing demonstration of the rejection capabilities of the technology. The discrimination achieved between natural radioactivity and nuclear recoils is a strong confirmation of the capabilities of the liquid argon technology. In addition to this achievement, a novel analysis of the ionization signal from low-energy events has been developed which demonstrates that the DarkSide-50 detector has outstanding capabilities in the search for lower mass (<10 GeV/c2) dark matter. These results encourage confidence that if a signal is eventually detected in a larger argon-based detector, like the upcoming DarkSide-20k, the signal will indeed be from something new in nature.
