6. Decisions of the Committee of Plenipotentiaries • To approve the activity of the JINR Directorate during 1992–2004 aimed at the preservation and development of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research as a world centre of fundamental and applied research and at the education of highly qualified personnel. • The Committee noted the growing role of JINR in the international cooperation among scientists, and its most important contribution — along with CERN — to bringing nations together in the area of the “peaceful atom” research. 98th session of the JINR Scientific Council

7. Decisions of the Committee of Plenipotentiaries The CP acknowledged the achievements of the Institute’s staff in the implementation of the scientific programme, in particular: • the achievement of a record intensity of the 6He beam at the source of radioactive nuclei being constructed at FLNR (DRIBs project); • the construction and commissioning of the new movable reflector at the IBR-2 reactor, which is already successfully operated at this reactor and, what is essential, will be exploited at the future modernized reactor IBR-2M; • the production of an accelerated 12C ion beam at the Nuclotron, which enhances the capabilities of JINR in the field of hadron therapy of cancer; • the first experiments on the chemical identification of the element “dubnium” as the end product of the consecutive alpha-decay chain of element 115, produced in the reaction 48Ca + 243Am; • the new results in the CP-violation studies obtained in the joint NA48 experiment at CERN; • the successful assembly and tests of systems of the ATLAS, CMS and ALICE detectors at the LHC; • the successful implementation of the JINR Educational Programme in close collaboration with Member States, which contributes to the education of young people inclined to creative labour and to an inflow of scientific personnel at JINR and its member-state institutions. 98th session of the JINR Scientific Council
