  1. R–ECFA meeting 8 – 10 October, 2009 JINR: Results and Prospects Alexey Sissakian Director, Academician of RAS

  2. JINR – a Centre of Broad International Partnership on the Russian Land • -18 Member States • - 6 Associated Members States • about 700 research partners in • 60 countries • -staff members ~ 5500 The agreement on the establishment of JINR was signed on 26 March 1956 in Moscow Three Pillars of JINR: Great experience and world-wide recognized traditions of scientific schools. Large and unique park of basic facilities for fundamental and applied research. Status of an international intergovernmental organization.

  3. The concept of the JINR Road Map JINR should develop its role as a world leader in certain research domains! The home experimental base, its upgrade programme should become a priority task for the Institute’s further development. http://wwwinfo.jinr.ru/Road_Map_2008-2017.htm

  4. JINR’s ROAD MAP JINR’s research niche offered by home facilities Heavy Ion Physics: Heavy-Ion Physics at high energies:Nuclotron-M (up to 4.5 GeV/n), in future NICA/MPD facility: sNN = (4 – 11) GeVcorresponding to Elab. ~ (8 – 60) GeV/n Heavy-Ion Physicsat low and intermediate energies (5 – 100 MeV/n), U400MR, U400, DRIBs Condensed Matter Physics using nuclear physics methods, (neutron sources: IBR-2M, IREN-I) 4

  5. JINR’s Large-Scale Basic Facilities The new flagship of JINR in HEP: Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility and MultiPurpose Detector (NICA / MPD) – 2013-2014 The main goal of the NICA/MPD project is to start in the coming years experimental study of hot and dense strongly interacting QCD matter and search for a possible manifestation of the mixed phase formation and critical endpoint in heavy ion collisions.

  6. JINR’s Large-Scale Basic Facilities • The goals of the NICA are proposed to be reached by: • development of the Nuclotron as a basis for generation of intense beamsby 2010: • - accelerated heavy ions A ~ 200 • - beam intensity ~109 ion/cycle (0.2-0.4 Hz) at kinetic energy • ~ (1,0-4,5) GeV/u for Au79+ • design and construction of heavy ion collider with: • - maximum collision energy of sNN = 11 GeV • - average luminosity ~1027 cm-2 s-1 (for Au79+) • - polarized proton beams with energy s ~ 26 GeV and • average luminosity > 1030 cm-2 s-1 • design and construction of the MultiPurpose Detector (MPD)

  9. NICA Collaboration • Joint Institute for Nuclear Research • Institute for Nuclear Research Russian Academy of Sciences • Institute for High Energy Physics, Protvino • BudkerInstituteof NuclearPhysics, Novosibirsk • ITEP • All-Russian Institute for Electrotechnics • Corporation “Powder Metallurgy” (Minsk, Belorussia): • MoU with GSI • FZ Jűlich (IKP) • BNL (RHIC) • Fermilab • Open for extension … Round Table Discussion IV Physics at NICA 9-12 September 2009 JINR, Dubna NI C A M E M O R A N D U M The IV Round Table Workshop on “Physics at NICA” gathered 82 experts in nuclear physics representing leading research institutions of 16 countries. On the basis of this examination they have concluded that the NICA project possesses potential for truly outstanding discoveries. The implementation of the NICA project at Dubna brings JINR to the forefront of the current effort in high density nuclear physics. http://nica.jinr.ru May 2009: the first draft of the NICA TDR is completed: http://theor.jinr.ru/twiki-cgi/view/NICA/WebHome

  10. The NICA Project Milestones • •Stage 1: years 2007 – 2011 • - Upgrade and Development of the Nuclotron • - Preparation of Technical Design Report of the NICA and MPD • - DesigningMPD and NICA elements • •Stage 2: years 2010 – 2013 • Manufacturing and mounting NICA and MPD • •Stage 3: year 2014 • Commissioning • •Stage 4: year2015 • -Operation 10

  11. JINR’s Large-Scale Basic Facilities For the last decade JINR has become one of the leading scientific centres in the world in low energy heavy-ion physics. Number of observed decay chains Element 118 3 Element 116 26 Element 115 4 Element 114 43 Element 113 2 Element 112 8 DRIBs (I,II,III) – Dubna Radioactive Ion Beams U400 isochronous cyclotron U400MR isochronous cyclotron U400 and U400M isochronous cyclotrons are combined into the accelerator complex – project DRIBs which deals with the production of beams of exotic light neutron-deficient and neutron-rich nuclei in reactions with light ions.

  12. JINR’s Large-Scale Basic Facilities DRIBs-III (2015) • Modernization of existing accelerators (U400М & U400) • Creation of the new experimental hall (≈ 2600м2) • Development and creation of next generation set-ups • Creation of high current heavy ion accelerator DC200 (A≤ 100, E ≤ 10 MeV ·A, I≥10 pµA) NEW EXPERIMENTAL HALL DC200: MAIN PARAMETERS

Parameters Fundamental and applied research in condensed matter physics and related fields –– biology, medicine, material sciences, geophysics, engineer diagnostics — aimed at probing the structure and properties of nanosystems, new materials, and biological objects, and at developing new electronic, bio- and information nanotechnologies.

  14. Welcome to the collaboration! «We hope that at a certain stage Russia-based international projects will come forth. The research centre in Dubnacould be a possible basing site for such an international project». From an interview with A. Fursenko after the LHC inauguration ceremony 22.10.2008 A.
