Launching the Next Baikal Expedition to Construct the Neutrino Telescope

On 17 February 2022, the next expedition to construct Baikal-GVD, the deep underwater neutrino telescope of a cubic-kilometre scale, has been launched. During about two months, the Baikal-GVD collaboration intends to deploy two new clusters, repair and upgrade those already installed, and proceed with developing the optical data transmission system within the facility.

Manufacturing Optical Modules for the Baikal Neutrino Telescope

The annual Baikal expedition to construct the neutrino telescope will soon be launched. In this video, Maksim Kruglov, the senior engineer of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, is explaining how optical modules were assembled, tested, and prepared for transportation.

“Charming Science” Media Project

Today, on 11 February, it is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science to all female staff of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and of scientific partner institutions of JINR! The DLNP Group of Scientific Communication presents the media project “Charming Science” with DLNP female colleagues involved.

Women Scientists: Some Statistics

Here are some statistics from our media project “Charming Science” which will be launched this Friday, on 11 February, exactly on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. According to the statistical studies by the National Research University “Higher School of Economics”: • almost 40% of researchers working in Russia are women; • in 2019, there were 136.1 thousand women researchers, and this is 11.6% less than in 2010;

Announcing the “Charming Science” Media Project

The Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems is going to launch the media project “Charming Science”. The idea was prompted by the International Day of Women and Girls in Science celebrated on 11 February. In our Laboratory, 19.4% of researchers are women. We have talked to some of them and asked whether it is complicated to do fundamental science, whether they happened to face some difficulties in their career, how the family supports them, and whether science is a good thing for a woman at all. Our media project will be launched this Friday, on 11 February 2022. Please watch the Charming Science trailer.

New Video by JUNO Collaborators Saying “Happy Chinese New Year!” to Their Colleagues

Traditionally, shortly before the Chinese New Year, JUNO scientists make a greeting video and compose a song about their work. This year, the song tells us about preparations for the experiment, aspirations for future discoveries, and also the appreciation of the personal contribution of each collaboration member to the common cause.

Alexander Selyunin Took the Third Place at the Poster Session of the Programme Advisory Committee for Particle Physics

At the poster session of the 56th JINR Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) held on 24 January 2022, twenty-nine scientists presented their posters. Alexander Selyunin, a junior researcher of the JINR EDPP Sector of Research Methodology, took the third place in the poster competition. The PAC members pointed out the high quality of winners’ presentations. We heartily congratulate Alexander and wish him further success and new achievements! 

“TASS. Nauka”: Scientists Developed a Device to Increase Accelerator Capacity

This kind of device can be applied to tumour treating or electric vehicle charging. Russian scientists have developed and patented a device to multiply capacity, in particular of a new accelerator for tumour treatment. As announced by the Press Office of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), the device can also be used for fast charging of mobile gadgets and electric vehicles.

Rostec: Rostec Will Increase the Efficiency of Deep Space Study from the Depths of Lake Baikal

During 2022−2023, the United Engine Corporation of Rostec will anneal 2100 permalloy shields for sensors of the Observatory, which will increase its sensitivity by 50%. Neutrino telescope sensors installed in the water of Lake Baikal detect high-energy particles and determine their source. It allows scientists to study events in deep space.

How Nuclear Physics Facilitates Development of New Drugs

The joint Russian−Cuban project “High-Resolution SPECT/CT Method Based on Medipix Detectors” (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography) involves scientists from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, not far from Moscow, and researchers from the Cuban scientific centres CENTIS and CEADEN. The spokesperson of the project on the part of Russia is A. S. Zhemchugov, a deputy head of the Experimental Department of Colliding Beams (Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems of JINR), and the spokesperson on the part of Cuba is the senior researcher A. Leyva Fabelo (Center for Technological Applications and Nuclear Development, CEADEN).
