School for students of Russian universities
is held in Dubna

On 12-16 February, the Joint Institute hosts the School "Nuclear Theory and Astrophysical Applications" (NTAA 24), organized by the Bogolyubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of JINR.

Within the framework of the event programme, participants, students from leading universities in 16 cities of the Russian Federation, listen to lectures, make reports and visit the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions.

At the opening of the School, BLTP Deputy Director for Research Nikolay Antonenko gave an introductory lecture on the history and the basic research areas at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics. He noted that a feature of the School this year was that it was held for participants from Russia, the country of residence of the United Institute.

Traditionally, the event has been held since 2012 together with scientific centres and institutes of the Hermann von Helmholtz Association (Germany) within the framework of the scientific and educational project "Dubna International Advanced School of Theoretical Physics DIAS-TH".

During the week, as part of the NTAA 24 School programme, lectures will be given on the following topics: nuclear structure research; thermonuclear reactions and multinucleon transfer reactions; nuclear reactions of interest in astrophysics; modern approaches to nuclear fission; interactions of neutrinos with nuclei or nuclear matter and supernovae; cluster approaches to describing the properties of nuclei.
