Dear colleagues and friends,

Today, a major international event, the three-day ARIADNA Collaboration Meeting on applied research at the NICA Complex, marked the beginning of autumn at JINR.

Read articles about new results of JINR scientists in the FASER Experiment at the LHC, in the TAO Experiment, and at the JINR facilities LINAC-200 and ACCULINNA-2. Implementing the plans in personnel training, JINR invites students and postgraduates to participate in the Institute’s research as part of the START Programme.

You will find September smartphone wallpapers, highlights from the life of the Institute, sports news, and much more in the latest issue of the JINR Newsletter.
