Issues addressed and main goals of research:
The implementation of the DRIBs-III project that includes the upgrade and development of the FLNR cyclotron complex, expansion of the experimental infrastructure of the Laboratory (construction of new physics set-ups), and development of accelerator systems. The project aims at improving the operation stability of accelerators, increasing the intensity and improving the quality of ion beams of stable and radioactive nuclides in the energy range from 5 to 100 MeV/nucleon, while at the same time reducing power consumption. The project objective is to significantly improve the efficiency of experiments on the synthesis of superheavy elements and light nuclei at nucleon drip lines and study of their properties. Moreover, the programme of experiments with beams of radioactive nuclides is anticipated to be expanded.

Expected results in the current year:
  • Experiments on the synthesis of superheavy elements Fl–Lv, study of their properties using a new gas-filled recoil separator (GFS-2) of the Factory of Superheavy Elements (SHE).

  • Preparation for experiments on the synthesis of elements 119 and 120 in complete fusion reactions with 50Ti ions.

  • Construction of a pre-separator for radiochemical studies of SHE and a new gas-filled recoil separator (GFS-3).

  • Development of the infrastructure of the ACCULINNA-2 fragment separator (RF kicker, tritium system).

  • Upgrade of the U-400M cyclotron.

  • Project development and construction of the U-400 (U-400R) experimental hall.

  • Implementation of the programme for physics experiments at the U-400 cyclotron.

  • Development of new methods for diagnostics of beams of stable and radioactive nuclides.

  • Further work on the construction of a new gas cell based laser ionization set-up GALS for on-line separation of nuclear reaction products by selective laser ionization.

  • Further work on the construction of the gas ion catcher.

  • Start of construction of the DC-140 cyclotron complex.
