Projects
An underground laboratory with an installation for irradiating radioisotope targets with a proton beam from a high-current linear accelerator of hydrogen ions has been created and is successfully operating at the Institute of Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The installation is used to obtain radioisotopes for medical and technical purposes. Currently, it is one of the largest in the world in terms of energy accumulated for the production of isotopes. The installation has a high degree of automation and safety in operation. The central part of the installation is a target device located inside a protective cube.
1. The highest neutron fluxes with the lowest energy release per neutron produced (3-5 times less than fission and 30-50 times less than photonuclear reactions)
2. Wide range of neutrons
3. Widely adjustable range of neutron pulse durations
4. Relatively low background gamma radiation from the target
For several years, the Moscow Meson Factory of the Institute for Nuclear Research (INR RAS) has been searching for ultra-narrow dibaryons - six-quark systems with a mass less than 2MN, the decay of which into two nucleons is prohibited by the Pauli principle. Ultranarrow dibaryons can be produced during the interaction of nucleons of intermediate energy with systems with few nucleons and must decay through an electromagnetic channel. Moreover, heavy particles from the decay of a super-narrow dibaryon fly out in a narrow angular cone. This feature of ultra-narrow dibaryons is the basis for the method of their experimental study using the TAMS two-arm multidetector scintillation spectrometer, which consists of measuring the spectrum of missing masses when registering a scattered nucleon in coincidence with heavy particles from the decay of the dibaryon.
At the Institute of Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, based on a high-current linear proton accelerator, a complex of experimental installations for neutron research was built, including an IN-06 pulsed thermal neutron source, a RADEKS installation for radiation materials science (a source of thermal and epithermal neutrons} and a high-intensity neutron slowdown time spectrometer in lead SVZ .
The high-current linear accelerator of hydrogen ions of the INR RAS with a complex of scientific installations is a unique multidisciplinary nuclear physics scientific complex that provides both fundamental research in the field of physics of elementary particles, atomic nuclei, condensed matter, and a wide range of research in the field of related sciences and applied work in the interests of development and development of new technologies and materials.
