JINR Scientific Council, 2-3 June 2005
The PAC heard with interest V.Zhabitsky’s
presentation
of the 97th JINR Scientific Council
Resolutions
January 2005
and the decisions of the Committee of
Plenipotentiares
March 2005 meeting
The PAC was informed that the CP elected
A. Sissakian as the new Director of JINR for a term
of five years beginning January 2006. The PAC
congratulates Professor A. Sissakian and wishes him
successful leadership of the Institute.
The PAC highly appreciates the support which was
given by JINR Director V. Kadyshevsky during 1992–
2005 to the condensed matter physics research at
the Institute and to the development and upgrade of
the dedicated instrumental infrastructur.
JINR Chief Engineer G. Shirkov informed the
PAC about the status of the JINR basic
facilities, including IBR-2 modernization work.
The PAC was very pleased that the full
budget required for the modernization of IBR-2
in the period 2004–2005 was provided in good
time, which enabled the commissioning of the new
movable reflector to be completed on schedule.

G.Shirkov, Basic Facilities, 25.04.2005
Main tasks for 2005:
Total running time in 2005:
1650 hours
• THE MAIN EQUIPMENT OF THE IBR-2M
REACTOR (new reactor vessel, rolling biological
shielding, stationary reflectors, etc. )
• MONITORING, CONTROL AND PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
• MODERATORS (development of a mock-up of
transport of moderator substance (C9H12), new
refrigerator facility KGU-700/15)
• NEW FUEL LOADING FOR THE IBR-2M
PAC expects that
planned financial support will
continue until the IBR-2
modernization is complete.
The PAC took note of the reports presented by the
Directorates of
Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics,
Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions,
Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and
Division of Radiation and Radiobiological Research,
and endorses their proposals on the adjustment of
the Scientific Programme of Condensed Matter
Physics being prepared for 2006 in accordance with
the available financial and human resources.
The PAC notes the Scientific Council’s suggestion that, in
order to prepare a strategic plan for the Institute, the
JINR Directorate together with the three chairpersons of
the PACs develop a road map for the coming 10 years.
After its approval, the road map should serve the
Directorate in its strategic planning and the PACs in their
recommendations concerning priorities.
The PAC noted with interest the first proposals for the
Institute’s road map in condensed matter science
presented by Laboratory directors at this PAC meeting
and considers them as a good basis for further
elaboration.
As a general statement the PAC would like to
point out that Condensed Matter Science,
including Life Sciences, appears to be a fast
developing field of world research activity.
Therefore the objective tendency is the
extension of spectra of highly urgent topics.
The PAC was pleased to hear the first proposal for
a 10 years’ road map presented by FLNP Director
A. Belushkin. For the elaboration of the road map
it stresses:
– the importance of taking into account the long
stop of the IBR-2 reactor scheduled from 2007,
– the emergence at world level of comparable
pulsed sources, which implies taking advantage of
the long pulse specificity of IBR-2.
Successful realization of IBR-2 modernization
will allow JINR to keep competitive positions
in neutron scattering until 2035
Priorities at the FLNP

FLNR Deputy Director S. Dmitriev presented a status
report on the theme “Radiation Effects and
Modification of Materials, Radioanalytical and
Radioisotopic Investigations at the FLNR
Accelerators”.
The PAC welcomes the rapidly growing activity in this
field.
Main FLNR Tasks in Condensed Matter
• Ion Tracks in Polymers
• Interaction of Heavy Ions with metals,
semiconductors and insulators
• Radioecological Research, Ultrapure radioisotopes for
nuclear medicine and biomedicine
• Design of accelerator complexes for condensed
matter physics and nuclear medicine

The PAC considers the complementarity of
theoretical and experimental research in the field
of condensed matter physics as essential factor of
scientific progress. Based on this, the PAC supports
the new structure of the theme “Theory of
Condensed Matter”, presented by BLTP Sector
Chief V. Priezzhev .
The PAC was informed by E. Krasavin, Head of the
Division of Radiation and Radiobiological Research
(DRRR), about the adjustment of the scientific
programmes of DRRR for 2006.
The PAC highly appreciated the presented scientific
plan, its main directions being:
(a) the simulation of the effect of heavy charged
particle radiation from the Galaxy in experiments at
the Nuclotron and
(b) the study of the biological effectiveness of the
carbon ion beam at the Nuclotron channel with the
aim of developing cancer therapy.

However the PAC feels that the financial resources of
these activities have not been clarified yet. The PAC
suggests that he JINR Directorate should find
additional JINR resources for radiation and
radiobiological research during the planned process of
reorganization of DRRR into a
Laboratory of Radiation Biology
The
PAC
appreciates
the
important
report,
presented by FLNP Sector Chief A. Balagurov
who answered the questions:
“How the new movable reflector affects the
parameters of spectrometers at IBR-2?” and
“What
developments

been
realized

at
The PAC wishes to receive a status overview of the
instruments, identifying their performance in accordance
with the scientific programme, the development of their
user case and user demands.
Technical improvements should be identified, presented
and considered in view of their current performance.
Moreover, the PAC would appreciate receiving a progress
report on the cold moderator project and
neutron extraction optics and an overview of the
sample environments available to the instruments.
FLNP Deputy Director N. Popa presented information
about the IBR-2 users’ policy. The PAC found
satisfactory the execution of the new programme for
the users of the IBR-2 reactor. The PAC
recommends that FLNP increase its effort to attract
new users mainly for the instruments with smaller
demand like REMUR.
In this context, it is also suggested that the
Laboratory’s Condensed Matter Department
should put in operation a feedback system that
will allow further adjustments to be made in
implementing the users’ programme.
The PAC notes that the procedure of
implementation this programme should finish by
presentation of experimental report.
The PAC noted with interest the report
“Research of planetary surfaces by albedo
neutrons” presented by G. Timoshenko.
and the report
“What can we learn about lipid vesicle structure
from the small-angle neutron scattering
experiment?”
presented by M. Kiselev
The next meeting of the PAC for Condensed Matter
Physics will be held on 14–15 November 2005. The
following questions are proposed to be included in the
agenda:
–
JINR’s Programme of Condensed Matter Research
for 2006–2008, in which the available resources will be
concentrated on the most important directions of
research,
–
Strategic plans of the development of FLNP’s
first-category instruments,
–
Consideration of new projects and themes,
–
Reports and recommendations on the projects to be
completed in 2005,
–
Discussion of the draft road map in the field of
condensed matter science
