Vice-Director M. Itkis informed the PAC about
the Resolution of the 102nd session of the JINR
Scientific Council (September 2007) and about the
decisions of the Committee of Plenipotentiaries
(November 2007). The PAC is pleased to learn
about the decision of the Committee of
Plenipotentiaries to increase the JINR budget by
24 in 2008.

The PAC notes with interest the plan being
considered by the JINR Directorate together with
the Russian Research Centre Kurchatov
Institute concerning the establishment, with
JINRs key participation, in Dubna, of a
JINR-based International Nanotechnology Centre
of the Member States.

I. The PAC highly appreciated the visits to the
Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics and the
Laboratory of Radiation Biology and the
explanations given by A. Belushkin,
A. Vinogradov, and E. Krasavin. The PAC
acknowledges the excellent work of the FLNP
Directorate for the modernization of the IBR-2
reactor and of the LRB Directorate for developing
this laboratory and providing it with modern
equipment.

II. Status of modernization of IBR-2 reactor
The PAC was informed by A. Vinogradov about the
status of the modernization of the IBR-2 reactor
and is pleased to note that this work is well
underway according to the schedule. The success
of this activity is due to the well-elaborated
management, the commitment and high
responsibility of the reactor team as well as due
to the comprehensive support of the modernization
programme given by the FLNP and JINR
directorates. The PAC endorses the plan for the
remaining activities at the reactor, taking into
account its previous recommendations on the
priority work for construction of the complex of
cryogenic moderators.

III. Recommendation on the expiring theme The
PAC took note of the report, presented by
A. Belushkin, on the expiring theme Upgrade of
the IBR-2 Complex (04-4-0851-87/2007) and is
pleased to note that the planned work up to the
end of 2007 under this theme has been
accomplished fully and with high quality. The
PAC also notes the high level of expertise of the
personnel participating in the IBR-2
modernization work and strongly recommends that
all necessary actions should be taken to preserve
the accumulated experience and to transfer it to
younger staff. The PAC thanks the JINR
Directorate for the support of the activity under
the theme, which has rendered possible fulfilling
the approved schedule of work. The PAC
recommends extension of this theme for 3
years (20082010) in order to implement fully the
planned upgrade of the IBR-2 reactor.

IV. Activities under the theme Neutron
Investigations of the Structure and Dynamics of
Condensed Matter. The PAC took note of the
report, presented by A. Balagurov, about the
organization of scientific research and results
obtained in 2007 under the theme Neutron
Investigations of the Structure and Dynamics of
Condensed Matter.

V.Scientific highlights The PAC appreciates the
high level of scientific activity at the FLNP
Condensed Matter Department, in spite of the stop
of the IBR-2 reactor operation. In 2007
important scientific results were obtained in the
fields of complex magnetic oxides, magnetic
fluids, multilayer superconducting films, lipid
multilayers as well as in applied investigations.

VI. Current activity in instrument development
at the IBR-2 reactor  In 2007 the
implementation of the programme of the upgrade of
the spectrometer complex at the IBR-2 reactor
started. In accordance with the PACs
recommendations of April 2007, this work was
carried out for the projects FSD, REMUR, DN-6 and
for those with external support SKAT/EPSILON,
GRAINS.
13
VII. Cooperation with other centers. The PAC
supports the participation of the Department
staff in the development of the spectrometer
complex at the IR-8 reactor in the Kurchatov
Institute. The collaboration between FLNP and
the Kurchatov Institute is important and should
be continued. In particular, the PAC
invites a report on the EXAFS activity at its
next session.
14
VIII. Analysis of the development of IBR-2
spectrometers The PAC received the comparative
analysis results of the development of IBR-2
spectrometers, presented by A. Balagurov. Taking
full advantage of its unique time-of-flight
properties, the IBR-2 reactor, together with the
broadband cold-moderator complex, demonstrates
the potential competitiveness of the proposed
instruments upgrade with the third-generation
neutron facilities. The PAC recommends that the
FLNP Directorate pay attention to the conceptual
design of instruments, which must effectively
utilize the advantage of combining the cold
moderator and the long neutron pulse. This
development is especially valuable in
nanosciences.

16
The PAC looks forward to receiving the
instrument upgrade planning and technical design
parameters upon which the PAC is enabled to
recommend priorities. The PAC reiterates the
necessity of retaining the high-level user
programme service.
17
IX. Progress of the LRB scientific programme
The PAC appreciated the report, presented by
E.Krasavin, on the progress of implementation
the scientific programme of the Laboratory of
Radiation Biology. The PAC notes the importance
of construction of a unique confocal microscope
by the SOLAR company (Belarus) for LRB. This
instrument may be a unique basic facility for a
number of JINR Member States in the fields of
molecular biology, cell biology, radiation
genetics and other applications. The PAC stresses
the need for creating a corresponding
infrastructure around this facility with adequate
funding.
18
X. Scientific reports The PAC heard with
interest the scientific report Cobaltites  phys
ical and chemical properties, field of use
presented by I.Troyanchuk. The PAC heard with
interest the scientific report Fully extended
conformation of ceramide molecules is fundamental
for the nanostructure of stratum corneum
presented by M. Kiselev. The PAC heard with
interest the scientific report New features in
collective dynamics of intrinsic Josephson
junctions presented by Yu. Shukrinov. These
reports are good examples of basic studies which
can have important practical application.
19
Xi. Poster presentations The PAC noted with
interest the poster presentations by JINR young
scientists in the fields of condensed matter
sciences and development of neutron scattering
instrumentation. The PAC appreciates very much
the increased number of high-quality scientific
reports and poster presentations and recommends
that these activities be continued.
20
XII. Next meeting of the PAC The next meeting of
the PAC for Condensed Matter Physic will be held
on 1617 June 2008. Its tentative agenda will
include Reports and recommendations on the
projects and themes to be completed in 2008
Status of the modernization of the IBR-2
reactor   Priorities of the instruments for
IBR-2M   Status report for the EXAFS
station   Confocal optical laser microscopy
studies   Medical beams at JINR.
