On 26 May, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Switzerland to Russia Jürg Burri paid a working visit to JINR to learn about its scientific infrastructure and research. He toured the Laboratory of High Energy Physics, the Laboratory of Information Technologies, and met with the Institute’s leadership.

A symposium took place at the Institute for the History of Natural Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discussing cooperation between China and Dubna. JINR Deputy Scientific Secretary Alexey Zhemchugov, International Cooperation Department Deputy Head Elena Badawy, and Head of the JINR Historical Archive Elena Malaya took part in the discussions.

Young specialists from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Eastern Europe visited JINR as part of a stage of the Regional School of Russia and the International Atomic Energy Agency. The programme included lectures on modern neutron sources in Russia and tours of JINR’s scientific infrastructure.

DLNP JINR scientists, in collaboration with colleagues from research centres of Russia and Kazakhstan, carried out an experiment at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory, at a depth of 4900 metres water equivalent. Confirming the discovery took several years of continued measurements.

Engineered by the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems for the OKO Project (Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute), the equipment allows controlling beam intensity as well as horizontal and vertical measurements during proton therapy.

The article details the studies of two FLNP employees: research into machine-learned interatomic potentials by a postdoctoral researcher Polina Kobchikova and a work on ibuprofen molecular dynamics by a laboratory assistant Polina Gergelezhiu. The scientists are using the NERA Facility of the IBR-2 Reactor and complementary methods.

Held at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics at JINR on 15 May, the school focused on modeling on personal computers using free access software and simple but illustrative examples not requiring significant computing power. The event gathered 70 participants from five countries in a hybrid format.

Until 15 June, master’s and postgraduate students are invited to apply for the “Advanced Methods of Modern Theoretical Physics: Integrable and Stochastic Systems” school. The event will take place at BLTP at JINR, with the programme including about 20 lectures and a poster session.

On 28 May, FLNR JINR Scientific Leader Yuri Oganessian, contemporary art limunary Francisco Infante, as well as philosopher and composer Vladimir Martynov will take part in a public talk. In addition, Vladimir Martynov will give a solo piano performance.

Registration is open for a free two-year programme for undergraduates, postgraduates, and young researchers interested in modern neutrino and particle physics, as well as astrophysics. The programme includes over 30 lecture courses and work on real research projects. Scholarship is granted after the first finals.

On 28 May, at 18:00, the JINR Scientists’ Club will host a lecture entitled “The thaw of contacts. Nikita Khrushchev’s international image as a communication mechanism” by Candidate of History Tatiana Petrova. The admission is free.

Directed by Anastasia Eremenko (Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography), Elusive Particles combines documentary materials about the Baikal-GVD construction with AI visualisation. The full version will be available later as the film is currently on the festival circuit.

The new guest of the Chronograph. Time’s Witnesses series is Doctor of Physics and Mathematics Zoya Karpova. The scientist has worked at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems since 2007, focusing on physics studies at the ATLAS Facility (CERN).

The guests got acquainted with JINR research, asked scientists questions, and engaged in informal conversations on complex topics. The programme included an international concert featuring performances by artists from Armenia, Belarus, China, Cuba, Georgia, India, Mexico, Mongolia, Russia, Serbia, and Vietnam.

The JINR Telegram channel shared another post dedicated to important dates in the Institute’s history. This month marks the establishment of several JINR laboratories and various visits of distinguished guests.

The Telegram channel of the Laboratory of Information Technologies at JINR published a post presenting archival pictures taken throughout the years in May.

A new issue of the Weekly JINR Newspaper, #21, has been published. Please note that you can read an English version on the JINR Newspaper’s website.

On 23 May, the Open JINR Weightlifting Championship dedicated to the Institute’s 70th anniversary took place at the JINR Sports Club. JINR Director Grigory Trubnikov and Head of the Social Infrastructure Management Andrey Tamonov delivered welcome speeches.

At Dubna’s first Volga Coast ultramarathon, a FLNP JINR employee Aleksey Altynov came third in the 12-hour event. Congratulations on the successful performance!
