On 27 April, the Institute’s representatives visited the State Committee on Science and Technology and the National Centre of Intellectual Property of Belarus. Topping the agenda were prospective areas for joint work with the country’s organizations.

Participants of the Baikal-GVD Collaboration reported on the success of the latest expedition to build the neutrino telescope. Twenty-one new strings were installed, the facility’s volume reached 0.8 km³, and data collection began.

Scientists of the Laboratory of Neutron Physics at JINR and their colleagues from Russia and Egypt used neutron activation analysis at the IBR-2 Reactor and machine learning algorithms to determine the elemental composition of 149 ceramic fragments from the 13th–17th centuries. More details are available on the JINR website.

FLNP researchers patented a new program for verifying processed gamma spectra and correcting radionuclide libraries. The software allows for interactive verification of the results of complex spectrometric measurements while minimising errors.

Until 15 May, registration is open for the Modern Problems of Condensed Matter Theory international conference. The event will take place at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics at JINR on 13–17 July.

On 7 May, the JINR Mir Cultural Centre will host a concert by the Credo chamber choir, dedicated to the anniversary of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. Tickets are available on the website and at the centre’s ticket office.

On 7 May, at 18:00, the JINR Scientists’ Club will host a lecture entitled “After the congress: new interaction in Soviet politics” by Candidate of History Alexander Fokin. The admission is free.

The JINR Telegram channel shared another post dedicated to important dates in the Institute’s history. Throughout the years, this spring month saw outstanding discoveries, the construction of new facilities, and the launch of computers. You can learn more about each event by opening the photos.

A leading researcher at the Laboratory of Information Technologies Nikolay Dikusar has worked at the Joint Institute since 1966. Over the years, he authored over 80 articles and developed the basis element method. In the video, he discusses his career in Dubna, colleagues, and key scientific projects.

As part of the dsgn sense olympiad, a light projection was created for a JINR hotel wall on Moskovskaya Street. The designer, Alexandra Korbankova, reframed the map of the science city and visualised its mood.

We invite you to watch the recordings of talks “Study of Bose-Einstein correlations in proton-proton interactions at energies of 0.9, 7, and 13 TeV in the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC”¹ by Elena Plotnikova and “Achievements in hypernuclear and strange particle physics”² by Dmitry Krivenkov.

AYSS has published the event digest for April with details about the “Young scientists – young doctors” project, Days of Physics festival, e-book collection available for AYSS members, and much more.

A new issue of the Weekly JINR Newspaper, #18, has been published. Please note that you can read an English version on the JINR Newspaper’s website.
