Presented by P. Spillantini
JINR Scientific Council Meeting
January 15-16, 2004
Dubna, Russia
1
General recommendation on the programme of Particle and
Relativistic Nuclear Physics Research for 2004-2006
 The PAC endorses the main lines of the JINR Programme of
Particle and Relativistic Nuclear Physics Research proposed
for the period 2004-2006.
2
Recommendation on the report of the evaluation
committee for the scientific programme of the Nuclotron

The PAC endorses the main
conclusions of the Committee
concerning the core scientific
programme of the Nuclotron

The PAC recommends continuation
of this activity with the addition of
experimentalists and machine
physicists to further define the
essential measurements to be made
as well as the requirements they
place on machine performance and
whether the requirements can be
achieved
3
New projects considered at November Meeting



“Dubna International Advanced School of Theoretical Physics”
Recommendation: approval with first priority until the end of 2008;
close cooperation with Dubna University Center encouraged.
“Project OPERA –neutrino oscillation experiment” (JINR’s participation)
Recommendation: approval with first priority until the end of 2006 with
the opening of a corresponding theme
“Clusters of the JINR distributed computer infrastructure for current
particle physics experiments (LPP’s basic facility) (Project -Cluster)
Recommendation: A proposal for a complete project is invited for
the next session. In the long term, this project should be integrated
into an overall strategic plan by LIT to meet the future needs of the
experimental program.
