Advisory Committee for
Condensed Matter Physics
22nd meeting, 25-26 April 2005
Wojciech Nawrocik
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.

•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-

• NEW FUEL LOADING FOR THE IBR-2M
Total running time in 2005: 1650 hours
Main tasks for 2005:
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
• Strongly correlated electronic systems
Magnetism and superconductivity.
• Material and engineering sciences.
• Nanostructures. Biopolymers. Fullerenes
in solution. Biomedical applications.
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.
• Ion Tracks in PolymersIon Tracks in Polymers
• Interaction of Heavy Ions with metals, Interaction of Heavy Ions with metals, semiconductors and insulatorssemiconductors and insulators
• Radioecological Research, Ultrapure radioisotopes Radioecological Research, Ultrapure radioisotopes for nuclear medicine and biomedicinefor nuclear medicine and biomedicine
• Design of accelerator complexes for Design of accelerator complexes for condensed matter physics and nuclear condensed matter physics and nuclear medicinemedicine

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.
Consequences of action of Galactic heavy ions
Induction of cancer Formation of gene and structural
mutations; Violation of visual functions: lesions of retina; cataract induction.
Clustered DNA damages
Fragment of D N A
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 have been realized
at spectrometers during IBR-2 shut-
down?”
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
Thank you
for your attention
