Delivery of High-Intensity Proton Beam for the Study of Flash Effect in Radiotherapy
Flash therapy is a rapidly developing field of radiology that has the potential
to revolutionize future cancer treatment techniques. The method involves delivery of the therapeutic radiation
dose to the tumor volume at an ultra-high dose rate in the beam, several orders of magnitude higher than that
usually used in conventional radiotherapy. In this mode of irradiation, the degree of damage to normal tissues
surrounding the tumor and falling under the influence of radiation decreases, at the same time, the effect on
cancer cells remains at the same level, which preserves the prospect of local control of the tumor with a lower frequency of side effects.
The paper presents the results on the delivery of a high-intensity proton beam with an energy of 660 MeV from the Phasotron of JINR (Dubna),
designed for radiobiological studies under flash-therapy irradiation of cell cultures and small laboratory animals (mice, rats).
In addition, the main design features and parameters of the created detectors for measuring the characteristics of this beam are presented.

Development of Ionization Chambers for Monitoring High-Intensity Radiation Beams
In the Medical-Technical Complex of the DLNP JINR, two air ionization
chambers were developed and tested as part of a research project exploring
the «Flash effect» caused by a proton beam with an ultra-high dose rate on
biological objects. The first chamber, a monitor parallel-plane chamber with
an ultrathin gap, has a narrow interelectrode air gap of only 0.5 mm which
ensures efficient charge collection and no recombination during measurements
of high-intensity pulsed (with a duty cycle of 100) proton beams. The second
chamber features a parallel-plane monitor chamber for dose delivery
monitoring and a multi-pixel ionization chamber for beam spatial
characteristic control. Electronic components and software were also
developed for the cameras. Tests demonstrated the chambers' full operability
when measuring high-intensity proton beam parameters from the JINR Phasotron.

Research on Survival of À549 Tumor Cells under Proton Beam Irradiation in Flash and Conventional Mode
Flash radiotherapy is an innovative method of irradiation, which ensures the delivery of the therapeutic dose to the
pathological focus in a time of about several tens of milliseconds. In this mode of irradiation, the degree of damage to normal tissues
surrounding the tumor and falling under the influence of radiation decreases; at the same time, the effect on cancer cells remains almost
at the same level, which improves the prospect of local control of the tumor with a lower frequency of side effects. To date, the exact radiobiological
mechanisms underlying the flash effect are not fully clear.
The paper presents the results on the delivery of a high-intensity proton beam with an energy of 660 MeV from the Phasotron of JINR (Dubna)
designed for radiobiological studies under flash technique of irradiation of cell cultures and small laboratory animals (mice, rats).
The survival rate of A549 cells under proton beam irradiation in two modes, flash and standard, was also compared.

Application of the Method of Moments for the Doublet and Triplet Analysis in the Radiation Spectra
When processing spectra, it is usually sufficient to
determine only the positions of the peaks and their areas. To use the method
of moments for doublet peaks analysis, it is necessary to first construct
(calibrate) the dependence of the second and third moments for single peaks
on the energy of the corresponding radiation. After such calibration
overlapping peaks can be separated. To separate peaks in doublet using the
method of moments, it is necessary to solve a quadratic equation. To
separate peaks in triplet, it is necessary to have appropriate calibration
curves already up to the fifth moment inclusive and solve a cubic equation.
Examples of the separation of overlapping peaks in the analysis of gamma-ray
spectra are presented.

Experimental Research of the Response of the Albedo Individual Neutron
Dosimeter DVGN-01 in the Field of the Accelerator DC-280 to Correct Its
Readings
The paper presents the results of an experimental research of the response
of albedo individual neutron dosimeters DVGN-01 of the AKIDK-301 and AKIDK-302 complexes in
order to correct their readings.
Correction of the DVGN-01 readings was carried out using correction
coefficients, which were determined by the results of measurements using a spherical albedo system when it was irradiated at eight points on the DC-280
accelerator: in the accelerator hall near the radiation monitor and in front
of the protective door from the accelerator hall, in the beam output cabins
(rooms 113 and 115) and in a permanent staff room on the second floor near
the accelerator. The obtained values of the coefficients are in good
agreement with the coefficients obtained earlier on the FLNR accelerators
and currently used in individual dosimetric control of laboratory personnel.

Finding the Mass of a Charged Particle According to the Shape of Its Trajectory, and Hypothesis of Anomalous Lepton Existence Test
According to the current state of the theory of particle physics, the number of generations of leptons (and quarks) is three.
In this case, however, the mass distribution of the three known leptons is such (me ∼ 100, mμ ∼ 102,
mτ ∼ 103 MeV/c2)
that the hypothesis of the possible existence of a fourth anomalous lepton with a mass ma ∼ 101 MeV/c2 often arises.
Such a large difference in
the masses of leptons is not fully explained at present.
In this paper, we directly test the hypothesis of the existence of a lepton with a mass ma ∼ 101 MeV/c2.
Thus, a method is proposed for finding the mass of a charged particle by the spatial trace (track) left by it, passing through matter in a uniform magnetic
field near the stopping point. In the projection of the spatial track onto a plane perpendicular to the direction of the field, the particle trajectory is
approximated by a helix («hadroide»), one of whose parameters is proportional to the particle mass. The initial energy of the particle does not matter for this problem.
In accordance with the method, the mass of the particle is found.

Polynomial Approximation of the Magnetic Field for Track Detector
The magnetic field of the 1-meter hydrogen bubble chamber at LHE JINR was measured in 1971.
In the programs for the geometric reconstruction of physical events, these data were used to calculate the field at arbitrary points in space using linear interpolation methods.
It is convenient to approximate the measured magnetic field by polynomials, which makes it possible to exploit the connections imposed by the magnetic field equations.
The method of least squares is used to construct basic polynomials that satisfy the Laplace equation. The proposed method for constructing the basis was
implemented and used in a number of programs for processing experimental data obtained on track detectors.
The presented method can be applied not only to bubble chambers, where the field is stationary and close to uniform, but also to other track detectors.

Refinement of Optical Constants for Bubble Chambers
At JINR, on the new software and hardware complex, the film information
processing (FIP) for bubble chambers (1-meter hydrogen and 2-meter propane)
was restored, which was obtained in the measurement sessions of the 60—90s
of the 20th century at JINR. During the restoration, inaccuracies were found
in the spatial reconstruction of the points. A minimization algorithm has
been found that refines the «optical constants» of photographic lenses and
their location in the common Cartesian coordinate system of cameras.

Recovery of the Software and Hardware Complex for Film Information Processing (FIP) for Bubble Chambers
The complex for film information processing (FIP) obtained on bubble chambers has been restored.
A procedure for the geometric reconstruction of spatial coordinates obtained from measurements on photographs of bubble chambers is presented.
This procedure is a significant modification of the previous one. The work of the FIP is demonstrated in the photographs of the 1-meter hydrogen and 2-meter propane chambers,
which were obtained during the measurement sessions of 1960-2000 at JINR.
The reconstructed FIP complex adequately corresponds to, and in some ways even surpasses, the previously existing complex in the main parameters: spatial resolution and processing speed.

Reorganization of the Sonix+ Software Package to Work with Data in the Event List Form
In the coming years the application of new DAQ controllers in which there is no hardware data histogramming
will become more and more widespread at the IBR-2 instruments. At the same time, the primary data presentation in the histogram
form is replaced in favor of accumulation in the form of a list of individual events, which corresponds to the global trend.
This will entail a certain restructuring of the Sonix+ complex. Thus, on the one hand, histograms should be kept for operative
visualization, as well as for data reduction programs, which are specific for each instrument. On the other hand, the hardware sampling
limitation in the construction of these histograms is removed, which is expected to lead to a significant increase in histogram size,
including exceeding the limit of available virtual address space for 32-bit applications in practice.

Research and Development of the Polarized Deuteron Source for the Electrostatic Accelerator
The prototype of a polarized deuteron source was made for the Van de Graaff accelerator of the Czech Technical University in Prague
with the aim of creating a full-scale setup for producing
a polarized neutron beam for experiments on measuring ΔσL and ΔσT, longitudinal and transverse spin asymmetries
in transmission of a polarized neutron beam through a frozen polarized deuteron target. The method is based on Kaminsky's experiment on channeling
deuterons through a magnetized single-crystal Ni foil 1-2 μm thick.
It is proposed to use the reaction T(d,n)4He with polarized deuterons of an energy of 150-200 keV.
For a nonchanneled beam (the goniometer in a random position),
the tensor polarization measurements were carried out with a TiT target.
Our result is Pzz=-0.10±0.02.
This indicates that the deuterium atoms that have passed outside the channels also become polarized due to the capture of polarized electrons from the nickel crystal.

were located upstream of the analyzing magnet at the SRC at BM@N setup
during the 2018 measurement. The reconstruction for these coordinate
detectors was developed for both simulated and experimental data. The
developed algorithms were added to the official software. The reconstruction
results of the 2018 data were compared with the simulation. The main
characteristics of the coordinate detectors upstream of the dipole magnet were

system for suppressing electronic conduction by magnetic fields are presented. Options of the formation of an insulating magnetic
field by ring permanent magnets and a spiral electrodynamic line are considered. The possibility of realizing an efficient pulsed
neutron generator based on such an accelerator is shown. The results obtained in numerical and physical experiments allow one to expect

TESLA-Type Superconducting Accelerator Niobium Resonators for Electrons and Positrons
The monograph is devoted to the development and creation of prototypes of superconducting niobium resonators in which electromagnetic field energy is
transferred to accelerated charged particles. These studies were carried out as part of JINR's participation in the ILC project in accordance with the scientific
theme 02-0-1067-2007/2015 (Leader G. D. Shirkov) «Research in the field of e+e– linear accelerators and colliders of a new generation for fundamental and applied purposes».
For this purpose, Yu. A. Budagov organized the production of a working sample of a TESLA-type superconducting resonator from Fermilab (USA),
which was used as a reference and for setting up measuring equipment.
On the initiative of Yu. A. Budagov, work was organized in Minsk to create superconducting microwave resonators of this type by the
leading research organizations of the Republic of Belarus. A complete production cycle of manufacturing parts of superconducting niobium resonators was developed,
all the necessary technological equipment was created, and two resonators were manufactured. According to the test results, a Q factor of 1.5 · 109
was achieved on one of them.
