Our laboratory originated new scientific directions

• Research in the area of the muon-catalyzed fusion.
• Research into the dynamics of particle and nucleus transformations, and rare decays of pions and kaons.
• Neutrino physics and physics of electroweak interactions.
• Nuclear spectroscopy.
• Creation of polarized proton and deuterium targets with a high degree of polarization.
• High-energy protons were used for treating malignant tumours for the first time in the USSR.
• Proton and neutron beams with energies of hundreds of MeV were produced for the first time for biophysical and radiobiological investigations in space medicine.
• The opportunity was considered to use high-current isochronal cyclotrons for controlling subcritical assemblies and creating on this basis safe nuclear power engineering and facilities for transmutation of nuclear wastes.
