From 25 January to 5 February 2021, the 17th JUNO collaboration meeting was held. More than 200 people from 77 scientific institutions attended the online conference. Reports on detector construction and preparation of underground experimental halls were presented. Despite travel restrictions, the largest underground laboratory and all detector sub-systems are constructed with minimum delays. The detector is due to be launched at the end of 2022. Now, the collaboration is preparing the most significant stage—the commissioning of the experiment. It is expected that the detector will operate not less than 30 years. The first physical results will be obtained in a year after its launch.
Happy Russian Science Day! Our Greetings to Employees of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems and of the Entire JINR, and Also to Our Colleagues and Partners!

We wish you glorious scientific results, breakthrough ideas, sparks of creativity and sometimes great patience—for instance, W. Pauli had been waiting for experimental verification of his neutrino theory for 26 years.
We follow advancement of domestic science, are happy about its success and gladly tell you about discoveries which make our life easier, more interesting and better. It is obvious that there is no progress without science.
But how do scientists interpret science for themselves? Just as a thing bringing practical use and everyday labour?
Let us reflect on this topic together with the Director of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems Vadim Alexandrovich Bednyakov and his film “Life, its Purpose… and Science”.

The most anticipated breakthrough results in contemporary physics are obtained at mega-science facilities—huge colliders, arrays and telescopes—with scientists scrutinizing events and phenomena which are extremely hard to measure or to detect. Thus, coordinated functioning of all parts and components of scientific setups is really valuable as is also minimization of the ambient impact on the outcome.
Honorary JINR Employee Title Conferred on Yuri Nikolaevich Kharzheev

Yuri Nikolaevich Kharzheev, a senior researcher of the DLNP Experimental Department of Multiple Hadronic Processes, has been granted the Honorary JINR Employee Title for his achievements and long-lasting scientific activity at JINR.
Yu. N. Kharzheev, Candidate of Physics and Mathematics, is a highly skilled experimentalist. While working at JINR, he was involved in many experiments. His first studies examined processes of particle production in interactions of pions with nucleons and carbon nuclei at 5 GeV at the JINR synchrophasotron using a propane−freon bubble chamber. Afterwards, he investigated production and decay processes of K mesons with the GIPERON spectrometer at the U-70 proton synchrotron in Protvino.
Congratulations to Yulian Aramovich Budagov and Mikhail Vasilevich Lyablin on Receiving the Patent!

On 4 January 2021, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research received the patent for the invention “Laser inclinometer for long-lasting detection of the Earth surface angular inclination”. The authors are Yulian Aramovich Budagov and Mikhail Vasilevich Lyablin.
More about the invention
The invention refers to control and measuring technology. It can be used for precision measurements of Earth surface angular inclinations under thermal instability of the environment. The device comprises a stationary platform set on a rocky ground, a movable platform fixed on it with three identical positioners. A laser, a cuvette with a liquid, a focusing lens, a position-sensitive photodetector (PSPD) and a processing unit are placed on the movable platform. While the Earth surface is inclining, the laser beam reflected off the liquid changes its angular position, which is detected and analyzed by the PSPD and the processing unit. The change in ambient temperature entails unwanted laser beam shifts.
