Joint Institute for Nuclear Research

The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) is an international intergovernmental research center in Dubna, Russia, founded in 1956. Its work spans nuclear and particle physics, condensed matter, and related technologies.

Nuclotron: A superconducting synchrotron at JINR that accelerates heavy ions and polarized particles. This accelerator anchors JINR experiments with relativistic heavy-ion and polarized beams.
1956: A year in the Gregorian calendar. JINR was established in 1956 by an agreement among its founding member states.
Oganesson: A synthetic chemical element with atomic number 118, first reported by a JINR-led collaboration in 2002. The Dubna–Livermore team’s experiments at JINR provided evidence for the element.
CERN: The European Organization for Nuclear Research, an intergovernmental laboratory near Geneva focused on particle physics. CERN is a major counterpart with a different membership history and a larger emphasis on particle colliders.
NICA: The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility, a JINR project for colliding heavy ions and polarized particles. NICA extends Dubna’s accelerator program into collider studies of dense nuclear matter.
Dubna: A city in Moscow Oblast, Russia, on the Volga River, known for its scientific institutions. The institute’s laboratories and principal campus are located in Dubna.
Flerovium: A synthetic chemical element with atomic number 114, discovered by a JINR-led collaboration. Its discovery exemplifies JINR’s long-running synthesis of superheavy nuclei.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: A United States Department of Energy national laboratory in California conducting research in science, security, and technology. Its researchers collaborated with JINR scientists on superheavy-element experiments.
JINR Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions: A JINR laboratory that conducts heavy-ion research and experiments on the synthesis of new elements. Its accelerator experiments have produced and studied several superheavy elements.
International scientific cooperation: Collaboration among researchers or institutions across national borders. JINR was created as a shared intergovernmental institution rather than a national laboratory.
