In December 2024, the staff members of the Department of Research and Innovation of DLNP JINR Aleksei Krasnoperov, Aleksei Kuzkin, Roman Ni, and Mikhail Lyablin visited the Kamchatka branch of the Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Vitus Bering Kamchatka State University. They carried out maintenance of two compact precision laser inclinometers (CPLI) installed in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. M.V. Lyablin made reports on a new type of angular interferometer and on the creation of a compa

On Monday, 23 December 2024, Dmitry Vadimovich Naumov held a lecture for fourth-graders “Neutrinos and black holes: space superheroes” at the invitation of Natalia Valeryevna Bovkunova, a teacher of junior classes at lyceum No. 6 named after Academician G. N. Flerov.

In 2016, a group of researchers at the ATOMKI laboratories in Hungary reported an anomaly found in the relative angle distribution of the electron–positron pairs from the internal conversion of gamma rays from the 7Li(p,γ)8Be reaction. The anomaly was later confirmed in two additional processes, helium and carbon, and the so-found excess of events is compatible with the hypothesis of a new boson of mass 17 MeV/c2 — the X17 boson.

Today, on 19 December 2024, Maksim Nikolaevich Sorokovikov has successfully defended his dissertation at the meeting of the Dissertation Council of DLNP JINR. The topic of his work was “Production of charmed particles in hadron-nucleus interactions at high energies in the phenomenological model of quark-gluon strings and calculation of atmospheric muon and neutrino fluxes”.

Dear colleagues, our beloved friends! In a state of great excitement, we would like to inform you that starting from 2024, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is going to set more ambitious goals and rise up to unreachable heights of scientific advances thanks to our new carefully elaborated and painstakingly thought-out seven-year development plan. We are preparing for implementation of breakthrough ideas in science and technology which will allow us to broaden scientific boundaries, get new knowledge about the constitution of nature and design novel practical tools to increase the quality of life.

March 19. Day 31 Today, assembling of Strings 2, 6 and 9 of Cluster 11 has proceeded. New Chinese orange buoys much heavier than those usually used were mounted on String 6. Specialists from Optosvyaz have checked optical fibre of the recently laid bottom cable – all six fibres are in order!

The FASER experiment has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider. The discovery promises to deepen scientists’ understanding of the nature of neutrinos, first spotted in 1956, which are the most abundant particle in the cosmos and a key participant in the process that makes stars burn. The work could also shed light on cosmic neutrinos that travel large distances and collide with the Earth, providing a window on distant parts of the cosmos.

March 12. Day 24 The deployment of new clusters and upgrade of those previously installed are proceeding. The cause of the fault of the string module acoustic line on String 4 of Cluster 2 has been identified at the shore lab. All the modules of String 8 and 4 of Cluster 1 are installed and tested. Today, the bottom cable laying has been interrupted due to the breakage of the ice-cutter. It is being repaired.
