This week, BLTP JINR is hosting an international school titled “Advanced Methods of Modern Theoretical Physics: Integrable and Stochastic Systems”. 66 participants from Bulgaria, Italy, Russia, and Slovakia are listening to lectures by leading professors, discussing aspects of theoretical physics, and sharing their experiences.

Held from 8 to 12 July in Gatchina (Russia), the conference brought together more than 80 scientists, postgraduates, and students from 9 countries. The participants discussed progress in theoretical and experimental hadron physics, QCD, the Standard Model, nuclear physics, etc.

The event, organized by JINR and Irkutsk State University, took place on 10–17 July in Bolshiye Koty village, Russia. This year, students and postgraduates from Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Cuba, India, Kazakhstan, Moldova, the Netherlands, Russia, and Vietnam participated in the school.

MLIT JINR Scientific Leader was presented with a state award of Mongolia, the Friendship Medal, for his contribution to the creation of a high-performance computing centre and the training of engineering and technical personnel at the MAS Institute of Mathematics and Digital Technology.

Doctors of Physics and Mathematics Anatoly Borisov (Moscow State University) and Alexey Isaev (BLTP JINR) studied the mechanism for generating neutrino mass in the effective field theory. You can read the full text of the paper issued in Physics of Elementary Particles and Atomic Nuclei via the link (in Russian).

Specialists from JINR and Tver State University studied the fractal properties of the emerging particle tracks in the BM@N Experiment. The article was published in Physics of Elementary Particles and Atomic Nuclei (in Russian).

The paper prepared by JINR scientists in cooperation with Mexican colleagues from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the University of Colima, and the Autonomous University of Sinaloa was released in Physical Review D. You can read the full text via the link.

Scientists at BLTP at JINR, scientific centres and universities of Chile, Germany, and Russia presented the results of the experiment to search for dark sector particles in decays of neutral mesons in the NA64 Experiment at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN.

Using the example of the computing infrastructure of the BM@N Experiment, MLIT JINR and VBLHEP JINR employees verified results of the simulation program, which is part of the software complex for creating digital twins of distributed data acquisition, storage, and processing centres.

Scientists at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR and the Lomonosov Moscow State University developed an algorithm for qualitative and quantitative material analysis by the K-edges for energy-sensitive computed tomography. The article about this study was released in the Journal of Instrumentation.

From 22 July to 2 August, the JINR Science and Technology Library invites visitors to the New Book Acquisitions exhibition that features a wide variety of books, educational materials, monographies, reports on quantum mechanics, artificial intelligence, engineering, etc.

How to fill in the empty boxes of the Periodic Table? What is multi-energy computed tomography? Why is NICA’s motto “Back to the Future”? You will find answers to these and other questions at the lecture on 27 July, at 3:00 PM, near the Solar System art object (Mendeleev Embankment).

The JINR Mir Cultural Centre announced the enrolment in the creative teams of the centre. All interested are invited to join dancing, singing, and fencing groups. You can find more information about available classes in the post.

On 21 July, an annual summer school of young scientists and specialists finished on Lipnya Island. Please enjoy a video provided by the AYSS Telegram Channel with bright moments of the event. You can also read an article about the school on the JINR website.

We would like to offer you to watch a recording of the seminar “Observation of 28 GeV resonance in two-muon decay mode on CMS Run I and Run II data” by Olga Kodolova and Alexander Nikitenko.

We offer you to watch a video review of highlights from the life of the Institute.

A new issue of the JINR Weekly Newspaper #28 has been published. Please note that you can read an English version on the JINR Newspaper’s website.

21 July marked the 7th Kimry Cross Triathlon, as part of which athletes had to swim 1 km in the Volga River, cycle 22 km, and run 6 km. The 105 Element team consisting of JINR employees won the competition. Congratulations to the athletes on their successful performance!
