Transcription

1 Joint Institute for Nuclear Research JINR is located in Dubna within 120 km from Moscow Moscow Region Volga River Dubna River Sestra River Volga-Moscow Channel Ivankovskoe Water Resort 1 Platform For International Cooperation In Science And Technology

2 JINR has at present 18 Member States: Armenia Azerbaijan Belarus Bulgaria Cuba Czech Republic Georgia Kazakhstan D. P. Republic of Korea Moldova Mongolia Poland Romania Russian Federation Slovakia Ukraine Uzbekistan Vietnam Participation of Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Serbia, and South Africa in JINR activities is based on bilateral agreements.

3 The supreme governing body of JINR is the Committee of Plenipotentiaries of the governments of JINR Member States

4 The research policy of JINR is determined by the Scientific Council, which consists of eminent scientists from the Member States, as well as researchers from China, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, United Kingdom, and CERN.

5 JINR comprises 7 Laboratories, each being comparable with a large institute in the scale and scope of investigations performed Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions Laboratory of Information Technologies Laboratory of Radiation Biology

6 7-Year Plan ( ) The concept of the Seven-Year Plan is based on the concentration of resources to update the accelerator and reactor base of the Institute. The key elements of the qualitative improvement of the research infrastructure are the following basic facilities: the ion collider NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider facility) for research in the field of highenergy heavy-ion physics; the cyclotron complex DRIBs-III (Dubna Radioactive Ion Beams) for the search for new superheavy elements of Mendeleev s Periodic Table and for studies of the properties of radioactive and exotic neutron-rich nuclei; the modernized reactor IBR-2M for research in condensed matter physics and particularly in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

16 Cooperation with CERN The history of cooperation between CERN and JINR spans over 50 years. CERN is JINR s main partner in Particle Physics. Dubna physicists are widely involved in more than 20 CERN projects, including 3 LHC experiments & LHC itself 1963, JINR, Dubna CERN Director-General Prof. V.Weisskopf, Prof. V.Dzhelepov and Prof. B.Pontecorvo 2004, CERN Director-General Dr R.Aymar in Dubna 1971, Dubna CERN Director-General Prof. W.Jentschke and JINR Director Prof. N.Bogoliubov

17 In 2015, two new Protocols to the CERN-JINR Cooperation agreement were signed, concerning PARTICIPATION BY JINR IN THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER PROJECT and COLLABORATION AND COMMON DEVELPOMENTS IN THE AREA OF NUETRINO PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY, AS WELL AS IN RELATED FIELDS All this creates a very efficient basis for continuation of productive cooperation beneficial for the both sides and contributes to the scientific progress.

27 At present 340 graduate students are taking part in various JINR educational programmes. According to the law On Education in RF a new JINR PhD program started in JINR Outreach Activity in Outreach programs for teachers and school students from JINR Member States at CERN and JINR were continued in cooperation with the Centre of National Intellectual Reserve of Moscow State University. ISP & SSP The University Centre of JINR is regularly running International Student Practice (ISP) and JINR Summer Student Programmes (SSP).

28 Specialized Educational Programmes UC Department Development of modern education programmes A prototype Virtual Laboratory of Nuclear Fission was created by JINR UC department DMEP Tests of these educational programmes started at the technical Universities of RSA and RF UC expects to propose full functionality of the Virtual Laboratory to the Universities of the Member States by the end of 2015 UC Scientific-engineering group These programmes will be organized in building 118 of the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics. Hand-on training with radio-frequency and vacuum equipment, radiation safety and automatic control system will be organized there. 6 young engineers have been employed as groupmembers to support these programmes.

29 Towards ESFRI Roadmap As a result of the initiative expressed in the letter of March 2013 signed by Plenipotentiaries of 5 JINR&EU member states, JINR has been invited through the Chair of European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) to become an observer in the ESFRI Physical Science and Engineering Strategic Working Group (PSE-SWG) which was established by ESFRI in October When discussing with our European partners, we do always clearly mention that we are NOT looking for their direct contributions to JINR s Basic Facilities and Infrastructure, instead, we are ready to provide our services to those teams and individuals that would come with their own ideas and equipment and this would be the contribution of EU to our common mission.
