Joint Institute for Nuclear Research

The accelerator complex NICA

General goal of the NICA project is experimental study of hot and dense strongly interacting QCD matter and search for possible manifestation of signs of the mixed phase and critical endpoint in heavy ion collisions. The NICA project is one of the six priority projects, and it is in the top list of mega-science projects the Russian Federation decided to support.
Science bringing nations together

JINR is an international intergovernmental scientific research organization established through the Convention signed on 26 March 1956 by eleven founding States and registered with the United Nations on 1 February 1957. It is situated in Dubna not far from Moscow in the Russian Federation. At present, JINR has 18 Member States.
Discovery of superheavy elements

In 2016 IUPAC and IUPAP assigned the priority of the discovery of elements 115 and 117 to the collaboration between JINR (Dubna, Russia), LLNL (USA) and ORNL (USA), as well as element 118 to the collaboration between JINR (Dubna, Russia) and LLNL (USA). The approved names were Moscovium (Mc), Tennessine (Ts), and Oganesson (Og). 10 new elements have been discovered at JINR over the past 60 years.
Dubna Radioactive Ion Beams (DRIBs)

The accelerator developed in the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions was specifically designed to accelerate radioactive ions with an increased number of neutrons for production of neutron-rich isotopes, including superheavy elements.
Baikal-GVD Project

Baikal-GVD (Gigaton Volume Detector) is the main project of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in the field of neutrino physics carried out by the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems. The first cluster of the neutrino telescope on the cubic kilometer scale was named “Dubna”. It has started operation more than 2 years ago in Lake Baikal. Now the Dubna deep underwater facility consists of 3 enhanced clusters which comprise of 864 photodetectors at the depth of 1300 m. Commissioning is planned for 2020.
IBR-2 NEUTRON SOURCE

The IBR-2 reactor is a high-flux long-pulse neutron source dedicated to fundamental and applied research in physics, chemistry, material science, biology, geology, environmental studies using a broad spectrum of methods including neutron scattering, neutron imaging, neutron activation analysis and high fluence irradiations. A user programme is being successfully implemented.
