• ANL Experiments with polarized gas jet target at VEPP-3 1988 R. Holt (ANL), L. Barkov (BINP)

  This research programme is oriented to the preparation of the experiment on the photodisintegration of a tensor-polarized deuteron. This simplest nuclear reaction keeps great importance for nuclear physics and has been studied over a half a century. But the possibility to measure the most important parameters of the reaction occured rather recently and real measurements were performed only once in BINP. This became possible with introducing a dedicated polarized deuteron atom source, which is able to produce a record intensity beam (8*10**16 atoms/s).Experiments with internal targets are carried out in broad international collaboration, including ANL (USA), NIKHEF (Netherlands), IKF JGU (Mainz, Germany).

• BNL Measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment L. Roberts, J. Bunse (BNL), Yu. Shatunov (BINP)

  The muon anomalous magnetic moment has been measured in a recent experiment at Brookhaven. Polarized muons were stored in a superferric ring, and the angular frequency difference between the spin precession and orbital frequencies was determined by measuring the time distribution of high-energy decay positrons.

  The experiment is being run by an international collaboration of more than 60 physicists from 11 institutes in the United States, Germany, The Netherlands, Russia (BINP, Novosibirsk, in particular) and Japan.

  Joint spin researches on RHIC 1993 T. Roser (BNL), Yu. Shatunov (BINP)

  Several experiments on RHIC collider at BNL were started successfully with ion-ion and ion-proton colliding beams. In order to increase experimental possibility of the RHIC facility various schemes of implementing polarized electron-proton colliding beams were discussed for a few years. This particular project proposes the scheme of electron-ion collider to be placed within existing RHIC tunnel.

  Current investigation shows the possibility to build the mentioned electron ring with acceptable parameters. Additional topics, like the control of electron emittance, chromatism correction and electron cooling for ion beam, are the themes for future researches.

  Joint design of the boron-neutron capturing cancer therapy facilities based on the proton accelerator-tandem P. Farell (BNL), A. Ivanov (BINP)

  The concept of neutron capture therapy was introduced in 1936, four years after the discovery of neutrons. The idea of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is simple and elegant. A tumor-seeking compound containing stable isotope B(10) is introduced into blood and given time to be accumulated in the tumor. The tumor is then irradiated with epithermal neutrons, which are captured by B(10) isotope. Capturing neutrons causes the boron nuclei to break apart, resulting in the emission of a-radiation and recoiling Li(7) nuclei. Both a-particles and lithium are high in energy but short in range and show high relative biological effectiveness, which means that they destroy the malignant cells in which boron is embedded without hurting the adjacent healthy cells. Therefore, BNCT will make it possible to destroy selectively tumor cells at higher B(10) concentration than in normal ones.

  A new approach proposed by BINP authors few years ago makes it possible to design and manufacture relatively simple and cost-effective accelerator- based installations dedicated for further biomedical research and for real medical applications as well, using BNCT technologies.

  Free electron lasers 1992 G. Edwards (Duke), A. Skrinsky, N. Vinokurov (BINP)

  The new Russian-made laser, called the "Blue Devil" OK-5, is part of a 12-year-old research partnership between Duke and Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. The OK-5 is the laboratory_s latest free-electron laser (FEL). The Russian institute is currently building an electron booster ring that will more than quadruple the injection energy into the storage ring after installation in 2004.

  That upgrade was funded partially by a grant from the U.S. DoE through the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL), a joint project of Duke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University.

  In a laboratory connected to the FELL physicists at the TUNL are taking advantage of another feature of both the BINP produced OK-4 and OK-5 lasers -- their ability to produce intense, pencil-sized beams of gamma rays, the most energetic form of light.

  Two years ago James Siedow, Duke's vice provost for research, signed a new agreement with Budker director Alexander Skrinsky to continuing pursuing research of mutual interests in the quest to develop futuristic light sources of various wavelengths.
