Within the framework of cooperation between KBSU and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research

Release date: 07.07.2021
Acting vice-rector for the organization of admission and pre-university activities of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after H. M. Berbekov Arsen Kharaev together with the deputy director of the Institute of Physics and Mathematics of the KBSU Zamir Kalazhokov visited the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. JINR in Dubna is an international research institution that is a unique example of the successful integration of fundamental theoretical and experimental research with the development and application of the latest technologies in university education.
In May of this year, Acting Rector of KBSU, Doctor of Technical Sciences Yuri Altudov took part in a meeting to discuss the draft national program for the development of neutrino physics and astrophysics, which took place at JINR in Dubna. As a result of the trip of the head of KBSU to Dubna, it was decided to form a group from among the administrative and managerial staff to participate in one of the educational programs of JINR.
The Baksan Neutrino Observatory of the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences is located in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, with which KBSU constantly cooperates.
Interaction with the leading scientific institutions of the country in this area is very important for us, — explained Yuri Kambulatovich. — KBSU is interested both in the training of specialized personnel and in participation in new developments, in the formed federal program for the development of neutrino physics and astrophysics. Therefore, we use the existing possibilities of coordinating various issues to solve these problems.
On July 5, Arsen Kharaev and Zamir Kalazhokov visited the JINR High Energy Physics Laboratory, where the international project of the NICA superconducting collider is being implemented (Superconducting collider of protons and heavy ions, which has been under construction since 2013 on the basis of the V.I. Baldin of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, in the city of Dubna, Moscow region. Planned completion of construction — 2022).
Arsen Kharaev said:
The topic of the second day of the internship at JINR is the research of two deputy directors for scientific work of the Laboratory of Neutron Physics. IM Frank of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Yegor Lychagin and Norbert Kucherk in the field of neutrino nuclear physics and condensed matter physics using neurons. We visited the laboratory where the source of resonant neutrons is functioning — the basic installation of a new generation for solving a wide range of problems in fundamental and applied nuclear physics. In the nanocenter of the laboratory of nuclear reactions, the organizers of the course demonstrated supertemporal devices, methods for determining the structures and composition of almost any natural and artificial materials. It is shown that in this center representatives of various countries — JINR participants conduct serious scientific research, here joint research is possible on the part of graduate students and young scientists of KBSU. At the end of the work, we got acquainted with the history of JINR, the scale of international cooperation of various states, including the USA, France, Italy and others.
According to representatives of KBSU, joint scientific research, as well as training and retraining of KBSU personnel at JINR in the field of matter of behavior and physics of elementary particles, will be very effective. This is important for choosing the future trajectory of life, for the development of the university.
As noted by the early head of KBSU Yu. Altudov, graduate students and young scientists of KBSU will also be sent for a two-week practice at JINR:
I am convinced that this opportunity will interest not only physicists, but also, for example, physicians. Therefore, KBSU will have to develop a model of interaction between the medical faculty and physicists. Work in this area will be the basis for the development of a system of additional education at the university in the direction of “Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Medicine».
