[ISSN 0367-2026] (Print), [ISSN 1814-7445] (Online)

Founded in 1970, the review journal Physics of Elementary Particles and Atomic Nuclei, brief name Particles & Nuclei, is published by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna. This is the most influential physical review journal in Russia.
Published by leading physicists from Member States of JINR, as well as scientists from all over the world, review articles in this eminent journal examine elementary particle physics, problems of vacuum in quantum field theory, condensed matter problems, symmetries in physics, string theories and gravity, nuclear physics, automatic processing of experimental data, accelerators and related instrumentation, accelerator-based transmutation studies, ecological implications of present nuclear and conventional energy sources, energy amplifiers based on accelerators.
The journal provides review articles in Russian and in English. Note: all volumes are translated into English and published by the Nauka/Interperiodika International Academic Publishing House. The translation journal appears under the name Physics of Particles and Nuclei.
Annualy 6 issues are published joined in one volume. In 2000-2004, the journal had a supplementary issue in addition to the six regular issues.
The Editors invite you to contribute review articles and guarantee rapid publication of your papers.

R&D and Mass Production of the B Type Modules for the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (rus, 1.264 Mb) The article considers participation of the JINR TRT team for the ATLAS transition radiation tracker (TRT) building together with the large international collaboration of the ATLAS Inner Detector TRT for the LHC. The R&D and build up of the TRT went from 1994 up to 2007 at the Laboratory of Particle Physics, JINR, and CERN.
Gostev I.M. The Methods of Identification of Graphic Objects on the Base of Geometric Correlation (rus, 855 Kb) This paper is a review of scientific direction on identification of graphic objects on the base of so-called geometric correlation methods. The historical presupposition of them is presented. We present resulting principles of forming the character properties on which methods of geometric correlation are constructed. The methods of identification and put out analysis of its functioning quality are examined. Statistical methods for setting a classification tolerance and factors which influence an identification precision are also examined.
Troshin S.M., Tyurin N.E. Mechanism of Single-Spin Asymmetries Generation in the Inclusive Hadron Processes (english, 399 Kb) We discuss a nonperturbative mechanism for generation of the single-spin asymmetries in hadron interactions. It is based on the chiral quark model combined with unitarity and impact parameter picture and provides explanation for the experimental regularities observed under the measurements of the spin asymmetries.
Sissakian A.N., Shevchenko O.Yu., Nagaytsev A.P., Ivanov O.N. Polarization Effects in Drell-Yan Processes (rus, 1.544 Mb) The polarization effects of hadrons and their constituent quarks are considered in Drell-Yan processes - one of the most effective instruments for the research on quark structure of nucleon. Special attention is being given to such important parton distribution functions as transversity as well as T-odd Sivers and Boer-Mulders distributions, which are absolutely necessary for our understanding of the effects caused by the nonzero transverse component of quark momentum. The original, possessing a number of essential advantages, method of direct extraction of transversity and Boer-Mulders PDFs from the unpolarized and single-polarized Drell-Yan processes is presented. The method is applied to the Drell-Yan processes with antiquark in both valence (antiproton-proton, pion-proton collisions) and sea (proton-proton, proton-deuteron, deuteron-deuteron collisions) states. For the feasibility estimations on transversity and T-odd PDFs, the theoretical estimations of asymmetries and cross sections are performed for the experiments RHIC (BNL), NICA (JINR), COMPASS (CERN), PAX (GSI), J-PARC (Japan). These theoretical estimates are accompanied by the estimations of the statistical uncertainties on the measured asymmetries, which are performed with the recently developed Monte-Carlo generator of the polarized Drell-Yan events. The duality of Drell-Yan and J/-production processes is studied, which can allow one to essentially decrease the statistical uncertainties on parton distributions. The estimates of the kinematical conditions allowing such a duality to be observed are performed.
Rybakov Yu.P. Cosmic Chiral Vortices (rus, 253 Kb) The review concerns cosmic chiral vortices (strings) and their possible role in the evolution of the early Universe. Exact cylindrically symmetric solution to the Einstein equations is obtained within the scope of SU(2) sigma-model for the configuration endowed with the topological charge of the degree type. The linearized stability of this solution with respect to radial perturbations is proven by Lyapunov's direct method. The metric found corresponds to the space of the conical type with the angular deficit proportional to the topological charge or linear mass density of the vortex. By integrating the geodesic equations for the light ray orthogonal to the vortex one finds the angular deflection of the ray, which is practically coincides with the angular deficit (gravitational lens effect). The gauge generalization of the model is considered, with the inclusion of axially symmetric Yang-Mills field. In the approximation of the large topological charge the solution with the proper longitudinal magnetic field is found, the fact of decreasing the vortex energy being discovered. The effect of closing the string is considered in the approximation of large closure radius. To this end one calculates the toroid moment of the closed vortex and the contribution to its energy generated by the Skyrme term.
Pasichny A.A. The Coulomb Resonances and the Dynamics of the Nucleus Electrodisintegration by High Energy Electrons (rus, 1.830 Mb) Effects of the Coulomb resonances and the quasi-real photons on the dynamics of the nucleus electrodisintegration by high-energy electrons are investigated in the framework of the nuclear shell model.
Slavnov D.A. Locality Problem in Quantum Measurements (rus, 1.117 Mb) In the framework of an algebraic approach we consider a locality problem of quantum measurements. Contrary to opinion widely distributed now we demonstrate that it is possible to coordinate the mathematical formalism of the quantum theory to the assumption of existence of a local physical reality which determines results of local measurements. From the point of view of a locality we discuss key quantum experiments: electron scattering by two slits, Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, quantum teleportation. We give to these experiments obvious physical interpretation which does not contradict classical conceptualization.
