Leaders:

S.A. Kulikov
V.I. Prikhodko

Participating Countries, Institutes and International organizations:
Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Republic of Korea, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic, Ukraine, United Kingdom.

Scientific Programme:
Development and construction of a control system of the cryogenic moderator CM-201 for IBR-2 beams № 1, 4, 5, 6, 9. Design of equipment, electronics and software for the complex of IBR-2 spectrometers; the development of the FLNP information and computing infrastructure according to the needs of the Laboratory and the development strategy of the JINR computer network.

Expected main results in 2016:

Testing, operation and development of the cryogenic moderator CM-202 with control and monitoring systems. Investigation of mechanical, gas-dynamic, radiation and neutron-physical properties of new advanced materials for cold moderators on a test stand of CM-201 and a radiation research facility. Carrying out of experiments to study radiation resistance of materials and electronics.
Development of engineering design of the ASTRA-M detector system for the FSD spectrometer. Putting into service of 2D PSD at the RTD and REMUR spectrometers. Development of methods for increasing the service life of MWPC-based PSD operating in direct beams of the IBR-2 reactor.
Implementation of the project “Development of PTH sample environment system for the DN-12 diffractometer at the IBR-2 facility” (manufacturing of a magnet using HTSC tape and its installation into a cryostat; cryostat testing under laboratory conditions). Modernization of the cryostat on the RTD spectrometer.
Putting into operation of new systems of sample temperature control at the HRFD, RTD and REMUR spectrometers. Introduction of devices for vertical and horizontal adjustment of detectors and their integration into the control system of actuators of the YuMO spectrometer.
Development and manufacturing of new control and data acquisition electronics and putting into operation of a control system of the Fourier chopper for the FSS spectrometer.
Development and application of the VITESS software package: simulation of reflectometric and GISANS experiments within the kinematic approximation; simulation of diffraction and diffuse scattering for thin films (including multilayer) with regular and rough surfaces.
Development of the Sonix+ software package: its adaptation to 64-bit version of Windows and version 3 of the Python language; addition of programs for maintenance of new equipment at the request of users.
Installation of a backup LAN server.
