In December, at a meeting of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Engineering, the results were announced of the All-Russian Competition named after the pioneer of printing Ivan Fedorov for the best scientific and methodical work. Professor Alexander Malakhov, a famous Russian physicist, Head of the Scientific and Experimental Department of Heavy Ion Physics of the Laboratory of High Energy Physics JINR, is among the laureates of the competition in 2021.

The Russian Academy of Engineering, the Technical Universities Association, and the Kosygin State University of Russia organized the competition. Professors of Russian and foreign universities, specialists and engineers of enterprises, organizations, scientific and research institutes, doctors and candidates of sciences took part in 26 sections of the competition. The competition has been established to encourage scientists who have made a significant contribution to science and education.

“Publication of such a manual helps to orient students and young employees in the large information flow by highlighting the main research fields at JINR. Theoretical presentations complemented with short descriptions of the bulk of the experiments on relativistic nuclear physics at the Synchrophasotron and the Nuclotron of JINR greatly contribute to it. The manual presents accelerator centres carrying out research on relativistic nuclear interactions. The author pays special attention to the NICA megascience project, which is of great importance nowadays,” Alexander Ivanovich comments on the necessity to publish the book.

Moreover, the manual presents in detail an approach developed by Academician A. M. Baldin to the study of relativistic nuclear interactions in the space of four-dimensional velocities. This approach has allowed our scientists to get lots of significant results in the field. The book widely presents the results of research on relativistic nuclear physics in other large-scale scientific centres all over the world: in BNL (USA) at RHIC, in CERN at the SPS and the LHC.

“The marvellous publication of the book deserves special attention. It is a great merit of the JINR Publishing Department. In this regard, I would like to extend my deep gratitude to the staff of the Publishing Department of JINR for the work on issuing the book and special thanks to Head of the Department Anastasia Shabashova and editor Ekaterina Grigorieva,” the laureate highlighted speaking about the peculiarities of the manual.
