M. G. Meshcheryakov — Founder of a New Scientific Direction

M. G. Meshcheryakov is widely known as the creator of the first Dubna accelerator, the proton synchrocyclotron, and the organizer and head of the Laboratory of Computing Techniques and Automation at JINR. However, he is less known as a physicist who opened a new direction in the research of nuclear physics and elementary particles — short-range nucleon–nucleon and nucleon–nucleus interactions. This publication discusses the pioneering experiments performed and carried out by M. G. Meshcheryakov, and the further development of this direction, mainly based on the example of work carried out at JINR.

Assessment of the Content of Rare Earth Elements, Thorium and Uranium in Coals and Ashes from Different Deposits in Mongolia

The content of rare earth elements (REEs), thorium and uranium in the coals and coal ashes of the Baganuur, Shivee-Ovoo, and Bayanbogd deposits was studied using current analytical methods: inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence, and gamma activation analysis. A geochemical assessment of the concentrations of the studied elements was carried out. The coals of the studied deposits are enriched with light lanthanides. Correlations between the content of REEs and thorium, as well as uranium, have been established. A primary assessment of the resource potential of the contained REEs was carried out, an assessment using the perspective coefficient (Kper), which showed that the ash of coal from the studied deposits can be considered as a promising source for obtaining REEs. It has been shown that when coal is burned at the Ulaanbaatar Thermal Power Plant-4, REEs are concentrated in various ash fractions (slag and fly ash). The enrichment of ash and slag waste with REEs such as Sc, Y, La, Ce, and Nd is 2.6–9.7 times higher than that of the original coal.

Comparison of the Frequency of Micronucleus Induction in A 549 Cells under the Action of X-Ray and Gamma Radiation

Experiments were carried out to obtain calibration curves of micronucleus induction in the A 549 cells depending on the dose of X-ray radiation at the SARRP facility of the JINR Laboratory of Radiation Biology and to compare the results with previously obtained dose dependences at the “Rokus-M” gammatherapeutic facility with the 60Co radioactive source. The possible reasons for the differences in the results obtained at the two installations are analyzed.

Direct Beam Boron Detector for Monitoring and Analyzing the Neutron Spectrum at the YuMO Small-Angle Spectrometer of the IBR-2 Reactor

This article discusses the direct beam detector of the YuMO spectrometer (IBR-2, FLNP). Optimization and measurement results using a gas proportional multiwire direct beam detector with a boron converter (10B4C) are presented. Spectra obtained after a recent upgrade of this detector (converter replacement, voltage optimization, etc.) are described. The forward beam detector is used to measure the spectrum of neutrons passing through a sample (obtaining the sample transmission function as a function of neutron wavelength), as well as to adjust the collimation system and the chopper operating window (synchronizing the chopper window closure to suppress background neutrons). The detector is also used for data normalization in measurements with samples having a high scattering or absorption crosssection. As a result of the upgrade, the detector count rate has at least doubled. It is shown that the neutron beam on the YuMO spectrometer is well collimated, the detector is aligned, and the correct chopper phase is selected.

Prompt Neutron Emission in the Spontaneous Fission of 258,260Sg

An experimental study of 258,260Sg produced in the complete fusion reactions 207Pb + 52,54Cr was performed using the SHELS velocity filter. Prompt neutron multiplicities in the spontaneous fission of 258,260Sg were measured for the first time, yielding average values of ν¯ (258Sg) = 4.9 ± 0.4 and ν¯ (260Sg) = 5.03 ± 0.14. The α-decay branching ratio of 260Sg was determined to be bα = 0.29 ± 0.03. In addition, the half-lives were measured as T1/2(258Sg) = 2.2+2.4-1.0 ms (95% C.L., confidence limit) and T1/2(260Sg) = 7.0+2,6-1.7 ms (95% C.L.).
