“JINR Participation in the Japanese Neutrino Program: from T2K to Hyper-Kamiokande. The T2K Project” by Vladimir Viktorovich Glagolev
- Details
- Category: Seminars
The participation of the JINR group in a very successful Japanese experimental program on neutrino physics was discussed — in the ongoing T2K-II experiment and the Hyper-Kamiokande project.
The already approved T2K-II experimental program will allow extending the T2K running time until 2026 and collecting statistics of up to 20x1021 protons on target to observe the CP violation with the 3σ significance or higher and to measure neutrino mixing parameters, \(\Theta_{23}\) and \(\Lambda m^2_{32}\), with a precision of 1,7 % or better and 1% respectively.

On 9 March 2021, the interview with Gil Pontecorvo, an employee of our Laboratory, was published at “Troitskij variant – Nauka”. The interview was conducted by Jan Machonin.
We will learn how the family of the future academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Bruno Pontecorvo appeared in the Soviet Union, what were the peculiarities of life in the country where socialism had won and how the scientific career of the elder son of the great physicist started.

“The Status and Prospects of the COMET Experiment at the J-PARC Accelerator Complex” by Zviad Tsamalaidze
- Details
- Category: Seminars
The goal of the COMET (COherent Muon to Electron Transition) experiment at the J-PARC accelerator complex is to search for a neutrinoless conversion of a muon to an electron in the field of a nucleus µ + N(A,Z) à e + N(A,Z), a process in which the lepton flavour number is violated in the charged sector of the Standard Model. Since the probability of the µ-e conversion in the Standard Model is zero, the observation of such an event would manifest effects of the so-called New Physics.

On 18−19 February 2021, at the 129th session of the JINR Scientific Council, annual JINR Prizes were awarded for the best scientific, methodological and technological applied works. The First Prize in the category “Experimental Research Works” went to the team of scientists from our Laboratory—the GERDA experiment group—for a series of papers “No-background search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Ge-76 in the GERDA experiment” authored by K. N. Gusev, I. V. Zhitnikov, D. R. Zinatulina, A. A. Klimenko, A. V. Lubashevsky, N. S. Rumyantseva, A. A. Smolnikov, M. V. Fomina, E. A. Shevchik and M. V. Shirchenko.
