“It has long been known that there are ultrahigh-energy neutrinos coming to us from space. However, it is the first time we have succeeded in linking them to galactic nuclei, blazars”, Valery Rubakov, the chief researcher of the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INR of RAS), academician of RAS, talked about the main results of the project “Neutrino and particle astrophysics”.

During the 2022 winter expedition, the Baikal-GVD collaboration has deployed two new clusters of the telescope, repaired, and upgraded detector elements already installed, and proceeded with developing the optical data transmission system within the facility.
The Baikal-GVD Neutrino Telescope is aimed at detecting and studying ultra-high-energy neutrino fluxes from astrophysical sources. Using it, scientists plan to scrutinize not only processes with huge energy release that occurred in the distant past but also the evolution of galaxies, formation of supermassive black holes and mechanisms of particle acceleration.

There is a wealth of ways to explain something. The main thing here is to be heard and understood. How to communicate science and make it clear and entertaining? Especially at the time of information superfluity when the brain tries to protect itself from unnecessary information with all its might, when internet users do not read texts any more, but just scan through them.

The 12 April 2022 marks the 109th birthday of Venedikt Petrovich Dzhelepov, the first director of the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems. He headed the Laboratory for more than 30 years, from 1956 till 1989. Venedikt Petrovich Dzhelepov is an eponym of the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems.
Venedikt Petrovich Dzhelepov was a remarkable physicist, an outstanding science administrator widely known by his investigations in accelerating equipment, nuclear and particle physics. His colleagues and friends remember him as a kind and warm-hearted person. We invite you to commemorate one of the founders of both our Laboratory and the Institute in whole.

At the end of the last week, acoustic modems were delivered to the ice camp after long delays. The tenth cluster and two new experimental strings of the future eleventh cluster could not be assembled without them. Acoustic modems are mounted on the string in the same way as optical modules and used to monitor the location of the string in real time as it can be deflected from its usual position by undercurrents.

A new edition of the podcast “Kot Ucheniy” (“The Learned Cat”) was issued on Radio Sputnik. The guest was a permanent participant of the Baikal expeditions to construct the neutrino telescope, a senior DLNP researcher Bair Shaybonov. He talked about the nature of the elusive particle, the way scientists can “see” it, the structure of the Baikal-GVD telescope and many other things.
