Brief annotation and scientific rationale:
The investigations aim to study the structure of light nuclei and nuclear systems near and beyond the borders of nuclear stability
using direct nuclear reactions (charge-exchange, one- or two-nucleon transfer), to investigate rare decay channels and the
influence of reaction mechanisms on the observed properties of the studied nuclei. Direct reactions employed for studying the
structure of isotopes near the borders of nuclear stability allow for more reliable data acquisition and the revision of existing
141
knowledge. The experimental programme will be mainly implemented at the ACCULINNA-1,2 and MAVR setups using the
upgraded U-400M accelerator complex of FLNR JINR that allow a wide range of experimental studies of light exotic nuclei using
secondary beams in the energy range of 5–50 MeV/nucleon.
The ACCULINNA-2 separator is equipped with a radio frequency filter for additional purification of secondary beams, a magnetic
spectrometer for reaction product separation, a cryogenic target complex of hydrogen and helium isotopes, an array of neutron
detectors based on stilbene crystals, and systems for the registration of charged particles.
Expected results upon completion of the project:
- Study of the properties of the drip-line isotopes of light nuclei.
- First experiments using the tritium target.
- Structure of the drip-line isotopes of light nuclei in (d,p) and (d,n), (t,p), (t,a), (p,d), etc. reactions.
- Studies of exotic decays, including 2-n, 4-n, and 2-p emission.
Expected results of the project in the current year:
- Study of nuclei near the boundaries of nucleon stability. Conduct of the first experiment 6,8He+4He. Preparation for and conduct of experiments at the ACCULINNA-2 fragment separator using radioactive beams and the cryogenic targets H2, D2, 3He,4He.

The goal of the project is the construction of the U-400R accelerator complex for the detailed study of the mechanisms of nuclear
reactions with stable heavy-ion beams (fusion–fission, quasifission, multinucleon transfer, etc.), synthesis of new nuclides in these

Brief annotation and scientific rationale:
Nowadays acceleration of high-intensity beams at the DC-280 cyclotron (SHE Factory) provides sufficient statistics in
experiments on the synthesis of superheavy nuclei in the vicinity of the island of stability (Z=114, N=184), thereby opening up
new avenues for research. Among the new opportunities the SHE Factory offers are studies of the chemical properties of
short-lived (T1/2<0.5 s) isotopes of superheavy elements and precise measurements of their masses.
The project aims to create novel state-of-the-art experimental instruments. Experimental set-ups to be installed at the DC-280
cyclotron will be used for synthesizing and studying the physical and chemical properties of the isotopes of heavy and superheavy
elements as well as in studies of nuclear reaction mechanisms, in nuclear spectrometry and mass spectrometry. To attain these
goals, we are planning to construct a new superconducting gas-filled GASSOL separator and a multi-reflection time-of-flight
mass spectrometer.
The magnetic gas-filled separator (GASSOL), whose key element is a superconducting solenoid magnet, is intended for studying
the physical and chemical properties of superheavy elements, including their short-lived (T1/2< 0.5 с) isotopes, thereby establishing
a pathway to elements heavier than Fl. In addition to efficient separation of reaction products, the separator will focus nuclei of
interest into a spot not exceeding 1 cm in diameter.
The specialized high-resolution mass spectrometer is designed for measuring the masses of superheavy elements with
Z=104–118 and A=266–294 and their radioactive decay products with an accuracy of <100 keV. Its principle of operation is
based on the multi-reflection time-of-flight (MR TOF) technique.
Expected results upon completion of the project:
- Development of methods for producing intensive beams of 48Ca, 50Ti, 54Cr, etc.
- Assembly of the solenoid magnet of the superconducting gas-filled GASSOL separator.
- Construction of a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
Expected results of the project in the current year:
- Enabling experiments on the synthesis of superheavy elements and study of their properties at the Superheavy Element Factory.
- Construction of the GASSOL separator for radiochemical studies of superheavy elements.

Brief annotation and scientific rationale:
The aim of the project is to accumulate a database for a better understanding of the fundamental laws of high-intensity ionization
in model and structural materials. Knowledge of fundamental mechanisms is of considerable importance for nuclear power
engineering, nanotechnology applications and for testing target materials for nuclear physics experiments. As an innovative
approach, it is proposed to study the effects of dense ionization on a previously created defect structure, which was formed by
exposure to “conventional” radiation (hundreds of keV and units of MeV, ion irradiation), which is the most reliable way to
simulate damage produced by fission products.
The main approach to achieving the goals of the project will be the use of modern structural analysis techniques – high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy in combination with molecular dynamics methods for modeling track formation processes.
Structural changes will be also investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, confocal Raman and
luminescence microscopy, and real-time optical spectroscopy under ion irradiation. The radiation resistance of promising reactor
materials and target materials for nuclear physics experiments will be investigated by micro- and nanomechanical testing methods.
Expected results upon completion of the project:
- . Advanced understanding of the fundamentals of high-density ionization in solids, based on the studied dependencies of the kinetics of structural changes in the tracks of swift heavy ions in the near-surface areas of nanostructured dielectrics – nanoparticles, interfacial layers, layered structures.
- Results of modeling by molecular dynamics methods of lattice relaxation processes and the formation of regions with a modified structure in the near-surface and interphase regions of composite materials exposed to energetic ions – nanoclusters in matrices, layered materials.
- Data on the combined effect of dense ionization and helium on the transport properties of fission fragments in protective layers and inert matrices.
- Accumulation of a database on the parameters of ion tracks in conventional and nanostructured ceramics promising for nuclear physics applications
- Data on the long-term stability of target materials during prolonged irradiation with intense heavy ion beams.
Expected results of the project in the current year:
- Investigation of the microstructure of the interface layers AlN/Al2O3, CeO2/ZrO2: Y, Si/Al2O3 irradiated with high-energy heavy ions by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
- Measurement by TEM methods of the parameters of helium porosity in nickel- and titanium-based alloys uniformly ion-doped with helium and annealed.

Brief annotation and scientific rationale:
The project’s goal is to develop nanocomposite and functional track-etched membranes (TMs) for their applications in
nanotechnology, biomedicine, sensor technologies, and novel membrane separation processes.
TMs are an example of the industrial application of ion-track technology. They have a number of significant advantages over
conventional membranes due to their precisely determined structure. Their pore size, shape, and density can be varied in a
controllable manner so that a membrane with the required transport and retention characteristics can be produced. The modern
trends in biology, medicine, environmental research, green energy harvesting, and other areas formulate the demands for
membranes with specific novel functionalities. These functionalities can be provided by tuning (setting) the geometry,
morphology, and chemical properties of TMs. The present project will focus on the development of various functional
track-etched membranes using the following approaches:
- Tuning the pore architecture.
- Composite structures.
- Hybrid structures.
- Targeted chemical and biochemical modification.
- Selection of bulk material.
Expected results upon completion of the project:
