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.

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.

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.

The scholarships are assigned for one year and intended to support activities of young scientists working on elementary particle and nuclear physics. The DLNP Expert Committee has resolved at its meeting to award the 2021 Bruno Pontecorvo Scholarship to Liudmila Kolupaeva and Maria Fomina.

Our heartfelt congratulations to the awardees! We wish you success and new scientific achievements!
