At the latest Programme Advisory Committee for Condensed Matter Physics, specialists confirmed that the IBR-2 Research Reactor operates stably after the long shutdown and shared information about the experiments conducted at the facility this spring. Find out more in the article on the JINR website.

From 30 June to 4 July, about 50 students, postgraduates, and young researchers from various scientific centres and universities of Russia, Belarus, and Slovakia are taking part in the international school. The participants are listening to lectures by leading researchers and making short presentations.

The International School on Nuclear Methods and Applied Research is taking place this week. Mongolian students are listening to lectures by scientists from JINR and the Institute’s partner organizations in the country.

A square near the entrance to the IBR-2 Reactor was named after Vladimir Dmitrievich Ananyev, an outstanding reactor technology specialist, the first IBR-2 Research Reactor Chief Engineer. A ceremony took place to open the square and unveil a commemorative plaque.

The third issue of the international scientific journal published by JINR features articles on nuclear physics, mathematical physics, and applied research in modern experiments in neutrino physics and nuclear medicine.

The new book is devoted to important future studies scientists will conduct at the NEPTUNE Pulsed Research Reactor planned to replace the IBR-2 in the next 20-30 years. Two more volumes will be published in the future, detailing the reactor’s experimental facilities and describing NEPTUNE itself.

The international scientific conference entitled “Application of methods of natural sciences in archaeological research” will take place on 15–17 September in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The conference is dedicated to the 70th JINR anniversary. Application submission deadline is 1 August.

On 24–29 August, the International School of Accelerator Physics: Linear Accelerators will take place in Verbilki, Russia. Students, postgraduates, young scientists and specialists under 36 are invited to apply until 20 July via the link.

Video about JINR PAC meeting results

At the end of June, JINR hosted meetings of the Programme Advisory Committees on Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, and Condensed Matter Physics. The committee members assessed research projects presented by scientific collaborations, institutes, JINR laboratories, and individual researchers.

At the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR, scientists discussed experiments at Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant, Russia. The presentations covered ongoing measurements, data analysis, results obtained, future research, and plans for the modernisation of experimental facilities.

The JINR Fusion Vibe concert united representatives of different cultures, erasing the borders between countries. JINR employees and participants of Dubna art teams from Armenia, Egypt, Georgia, India, Russia, Vietnam, and South Africa entertained the audience with songs, dances, plays, and musical performances.

On 28 June, at the Mendeleev Embankment, JINR employees Regina Kozhina (LRB) and Vladislav Rozhkov (DLNP) gave a lecture about the scientific projects of the Joint Institute and the activities of AYSS. Dmitry Dryablov from VBLHEP presented exciting physics experiments and scientific facts to young spectators..

Our new wallpapers show the VBLHEP’s gasholder and superconducting solenoid of the MPD Facility. The magnet’s arrival to Dubna five years ago was a memorable event and a vivid example of the fact that each element of the NICA complex is the result of the efforts of many specialists.

A new issue of the Weekly JINR Newspaper #23 has been published. Please note that you can read an English version on the JINR Newspaper’s website.

On 21-22 June, the JINR Nauka Stadium hosted the Double York open archery tournament. Despite 16 hours of shooting in the sun, rain, and gusty wind, the JINR Archery Sports Club showed excellent results, winning 4 medals and 6 diplomas. We congratulate our colleagues on their excellent performance!

On 28 June, the pool hosted a swimming competition dedicated to its 54th anniversary. More than 200 athletes from Moscow and Moscow Region participated, with JINR employees showing excellent results. Congratulations on the successful performance!
