  6. Data taking with ten clusters of the BAIKAL-GVD neutrino telescope. Search for and study of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical nature. Construct on and commissioning of new detector clusters. Development and testing of new data acquisition and data transmission systems aiming at a lower energy threshold (Baikal project).

  7. Continuation of the study of low-energy electrons from radioactive decay. Measurement of Auger spectra for 103Pd and 125I and low-energy conversion electrons from the decay of 227Ac. Commissioning of the new vacuum evaporation setup in a radiochemical laboratory. 57Co calibration measurements of the ESA-50 spectrometer. Processing of measurement results for 2022 and 2023.

  9. Results of search for sterile neutrinos on the 2016-2021 data accumulated by the DANSS spectrometer. Precision estimates of the gamma and neutron background at the location of the DANSS spectrometer (room A336 under the reactor of the 4th power unit of the KNPP). R&D results of the spectrometr modernization.

  10. The radiochemical laboratory of the 2nd class will be commissioned at DLNP; equipment for manufacture of radioactive sources for brachytherapy of cancer diseases will be installed; obtained sanitary and epidemiological certificates for the radiochemical laboratory will be concluded.

  11. Continuation of the MONUMENT project. Analysis of data from 2021 and 2022 the experimental campaigns, namely for the measured 136Ba, 76Se, 100Mo enriched isotopes. Preparation for measurements in 2023 (purchase of isotopically enriched elements, modernization of the muon trigger system). Data taking and analysis of accumulated data.
