Laboratory of High Energy – ЛВЕ • Started in 1956 • the first stack of emulsion was exposed in the proton beam of 9 GeV •  mesons of 60 GeV from Serpuhov. • Along  45 years of a strong collaboration • many other stacks were exposed with different high energy nuclei (He, C, N, O, Ne, Si, S) at the syncrofazotron E = 4.5 AGeV • secondary radioactive beams at the nuclotron (He3, Be7, B10, B11). • As a result over 100 articles were published in different • prestigious journals of great impact, only this year we came • with 3 papers. At present we continue to work in emulsion, • and are mostly interested in the Becquerell project, • because it is aimed to solve crucial problems for • nuclear astrophysics.

  32. 2. Another collaboration with ЛВЕ begun 5 years ago, concerning ALICE experiment at LHC-CERN. • 3. This year we will start the third direction = • the investigation of secondary particle production and neutron yield from heavy targets in nucleus-nucleus interaction and study of transmutation of radioactive wastes from nuclear power installations. • In order to strenghten our collaboration with ЛВЕ we send for a long period to work in Dubna 5 very young people from our laboratory, which will arrive here next month.
