2The PAC highly appreciated the
JINR Director Professor
V. Kadyshevskys participation at the 23rd PAC
meeting.
The PAC thanks Professor V. Kadyshevsky, the
JINR Director during 19922005, for the strong
support given to the condensed matter physics,
biological and medical research and to the
development and upgrade of the dedicated
instrumental infrastructure.
3 The PAC congratulates Professor A. Sissakian
a new Director of JINR and wishes him successful
leadership of the Institute. PAC believes that
A. Sissakian will contribute his effort to the
development in JINR of condensed mater physics,
biological and medical sciences as well as
nuclear and high-energy physics.
4The PAC heard with interest
V.Zhabitskys presentation
of the 98th JINR Scientific
Council Resolutions June 2005 The PAC
appreciates
V. Zhabitskys and G. Shirkovs well prepared and
instructive reports given at the PAC meetings.
5- IBR-2 reactor
- The PAC was informed by V. Ananiev about the
status of the modernization of the IBR-2 reactor.
The PAC expects that the JINR and FLNP
directorates will take all necessary measures to - ensure the continuation of the work for IBR-2
modernization according to schedule. - The PAC appreciates the important contribution by
V. Ananiev and his team to the reactor
modernization activity.
6Programme of Condensed Matter Physics Research
for 20062008 The PAC took note of the proposals
for the JINR Programme of Condensed Matter
Physics Research for 20062008 presented by
laboratories, in which the available resources
will be concentrated on the most important
directions of research and endorses these
proposals. The PAC recommends continuation of
the research activities under the following
themes in 2006 with first priority.
7Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics Neutron
investigations of the structure and dynamics of
condensed matter,
Development and creation of elements of neutron
spectrometers for condensed matter
investigations, as well as
Upgrade of the IBR-2 complex as a flagship
activity of JINR.
8Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions Radiation
effects and modification of materials,
radioanalytical and radioisotopic investigations
at the FLNR accelerators. Bogoliubov
Laboratory of Theoretical Physics Theory of
condensed matter.
9- Theory of condensed matter
- The major focus in the field of complex materials
is the theoretical analysis of the strongly
correlated electron systems, like cuprates,
vanadates, manganites. - This involves investigations of novel cooperative
phenomena, superconductivity, new forms of order,
low-dimensional magnetism and frustrated
systems. - Extensive experimental investigations of these
materials performed by neutron scattering methods
in the FLNP also strongly motivate development of
theoretical investigations in the field.
10- Key research directions of nanostructures will
include theoretical studies of the electronic,
magnetic, thermal and transport characteristics
of various novel nanoscaled materials carbon
nanostructures are of particular interest.
11- Dynamics of many-particle systems and coherent
phenomena - Different types of stochastic dynamics, in
particular, description of avalanche dynamics,
propagation of signals in non-linear and
non-stable media, irreversible processes which
classify the non-equilibrium statistical physics
will be studied. - Self-organization in biological systems, as e.g.,
investigation of a kinetic model of virus
mutations in the presence of an immune system,
and fluctuations in highway traffics are key
examples.
12- Coherent phenomena and quantum properties in
mesoscopic systems will be studied. The main
examples are quantum wells, wires, dots, atomic
traps, photon confinement in a band-gap material.
13Laboratory of Radiation Biology Radiation and
radiobiological investigations at the JINR basic
facilities an in the environment. Dzhelepov
Laboratory of Nuclear Problems Further
development of methods and instrumentation for
radiotherapy and associated diagnostics with JINR
hadron beams.
14Draft road map in the field of condensed matter
physics In accordance with the Scientific
Councils recommendation that JINR Directorate
formulate a road map to achieve the strategic
goals of the Institute research programme for the
coming 10 years as the next step in the planning
process initiated with the current seven-year
programme.
15 The first draft of such a road map for condensed
matter physics was presented by
A. Belushkin. The PAC endorses the proposed
draft and recommends its further elaboration,
taking into account the comments and suggestions
made at 23rd PAC meeting, in particular a better
structuring in terms of the priority fields of
research at JINR, namely basic research, applied
research, and educational programme.
16 The PAC is concerned that the momentum of the
condensed matter programme should be maintained
over the three-year shut-down period of IBR-2.
There is a particular urgency to secure the
continuing research activity of young scientists
based at JINR either through placement at
international neutron facilities or through
association with assignment to appropriate
University groups.
17 For successful implementation of the strategic
research programme of JINR it is of vital
importance to attract young scientists from
Member States by providing all necessary
conditions for work at JINR, including
substantial salary increase.
18Development of IBR-2 spectrometers The PAC heard
a plan for the development of spectrometers at
IBR-2 presented by A. Balagurov. The PAC would
appreciate a more detailed evaluation of the
spectrometer development projects in accordance
with the needs of the Institutes strategic
research programme in condensed matter physics.
19Discussion of the new project The PAC took note
of the report, presented by G. Shirkov, on the
theme DELSY, previously approved for completion
in 2005. The PAC heard a proposal of the new
project Free-electron lasers based on
LINAC-800. After due discussion, the PAC has the
following comments
20 The PAC is aware of the strategic need to
develop JINR expertise in FEL technology. The PAC
also welcomes proposals to strengthen the JINR
programmes in condensed matter science, and in
this context is keen to keep a watching brief on
the FEL project. However the PAC does not
believe that, at this stage, the LINAC-800 FEL
proposal is sufficiently mature to fall within
the remit of the PAC for Condensed Matter
Physics, as it is principally a project in
accelerator technology and accelerator
development.
21- Before the PAC can either consider or endorse
this proposal it must be made clear - what the potential for condensed matter research
will be, and on what time scale this potential
will be realized - what specific strategic areas of condensed matter
science will be addressed - how the facility and instruments made available
will compare with existing and planned facilities
in Russia and abroad.
22 Unless the proposed condensed matter facilities
can be shown to be internationally competitive,
no funds should be diverted from the existing
condensed matter strategic road map to support
FEL development. To do so would seriously
prejudice existing projects which are considered
to be both strategic and internationally
competitive.
23 The FEL accelerator issue highlights a problem
with JINR procedure for evaluating new projects
which do not readily fall within the remit of
specific PACs and yet would divert funds from
existing strategic proposals endorsed by these
PACs.
24Scientific reports The PAC noted with interest
the report EXAFS spectroscopy study of the
cobaltites La1-x Srx CoO3 (x 0.0 0.5)
presented by V. Efimov. The PAC noted with
interest the report Application of laser
confocal microscopy in physics of condensed
matter presented by Yu. Kovalev. The PAC noted
with interest the report Research of a visual
pigment of rhodopsin spectroscopy and molecular
modeling presented by T. Feldmann.
25JINR Educational Programme The PAC took note of
the information about the III International
Summer School on Nuclear Physics Methods in
Biology and Medicine (Dubna, 30 June11 July
2005) presented by S. Ivanova, The PAC notes
the success of this school and recommends its
continuation in the future on a regular basis.
26 The PAC highly appreciates the successful
implementation of the JINR Educational Programme
and its important role in promoting contacts with
Member States and for attracting young people to
JINR. This activity should be continued with high
priority. The PAC thanks S. Ivanova, and T.
Strizh and the JINR University Center team for
their enthusiasm, competency and hard work for
attracting young people to JINR and to PHYSICS!
27Next meeting of the PAC The next meeting of the
PAC for Nuclear Physics will be held on 34 April
2006. Its tentative agenda will include
Information about the national strategic research
programme in condensed matter science being
developed in Russia FLNPs programme in the
field of nanoscience Medical activities at
JINR Scientific reports Poster presentations
of highlight research activities in condensed
matter physics by JINR young scientists
