JINR Basic facilities
JINR has a remarkable collection of experimental physical facilities: the only superconducting accelerator of nuclei and heavy ions in Europe and Asia – Nuclotron; heavy ion Cyclotrons U-400 and U-400M with the record-breaking parameters of beams for experiments on heavy and exotic nuclei synthesis; unique neutron pulsed reactor IBR-2M for research in neutron nuclear physics and condensed matter physics; proton accelerator – Phasotron which is used for radiation therapy.
Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex at JINR
The Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex (MICC) is a basic facility of JINR. It provides a 24×7 implementation of a vast range of competitive research conducted at JINR at a global level. JINR collaborates with the world’s leading scientific and research centres both in the framework of its own research programmes (in particular, the megascience project NICA), and the priority research tasks carried out in collaboration with CERN, FAIR, BNL, and others. The MICC computing infrastructure comprises four modern hardware and software components: the Tier1 and Tier2 grid sites, the Govorun hyper-converged supercomputer, a cloud infrastructure, and a distributed multi-tier data storage system. This combination of components makes MICC unique in the global landscape and enables the scientific community of JINR and the Member States to utilise all modern computing technologies within a single computing complex.
