More than 360 000 patients were treated at 100 proton and also at 8 heavy-ion cancer therapy facilities worldwide [1]. While beams of protons, $^{4}$He and $^{12}$C nuclei are very effective in killing deep-seated solid tumors, some damage to surrounding healthy tissues is unavoidable and must be reduced. It has been proposed [2,3] to use arrays of thin proton beams, spatially fractionated at...
A synthesis of the research developed in the frame of E&T collaboration, aimed to identify the conditions which maximize the efficiency of an accelerator driven subcritical reactor (ADSR) are presented. Experiments performed in the extended U target “Quinta” irradiated with deuteron and 12C beams with energies 0.5-4 AGeV and simulations realized with the toolkit Geant4 in enriched targets were...
Experiments on the study of the neutron spectrum in accelerator systems are of considerable interest. Detailed simulation of an experimental target is a significant phase at preparing for experiments on targets irradiation.
Simulation of a ~21 t depleted uranium target irradiated by 1…10 GeV proton and deuteron particles with the help of FLUKA simulation package was carried out. Neutron...
Radiobiological research in Laboratory of Radiation Biology focusses on addressing both fundamental and applied problems of modern biology and medicine and relies on the availability at JINR of a wide range of radiation sources, including beams of heavy ions of various energies.
In the context of fundamental aspects, our research focusses on understanding of the key physical and biological...
Nucleon associations (clusters) are one of the basic phenomena in atomic nuclei structure. Their simplest observable manifestations are the lightest He and H nuclei. Superpositions of the lightest clusters and nucleons form subsequent nuclei (including unstable $^8$Be and B), which act as constituent clusters themselves for more complicated nuclear systems. The phenomena of claster...
