Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics is one of the laboratories of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) that investigates the neutron as an elementary particle using various instruments, and employs the neutron as an instrument to investigate the structure and dynamics of condensed matter, including crystals and nanosystems, functional materials, complex liquids and polymers, rocks, etc. so that our findings could find application in molecular biology and pharmacology, engineering diagnostics and in other fields of science and technology.
IBR-2 Status OFF
The operation of the IBR-2 reactor and access to its experimental instruments have been suspended
Events
FLNP SEMINAR, March 23, 2023 (Thursday), 15:00, FLNP Conference hall and remotely
Presentation of the collection “Problems of optics of long-wavelength neutrons”
A.I. Frank
The collection presents selected works of the author devoted to some problems of long-wavelength neutron optics and published in domestic and English-language journals from 1978 to 2021. The collection consists of four parts, which include works related to the topic. Each part is preceded by an introductory article written specifically for the collection.
In the report, the author intends to talk about some of these works, about the history of their appearance, and about the people without whom they could not have appeared.

"On verification of the principle of relativity in the β-decay of the neutron"
V.R. Skoy
A hypothesis of the dependence of the free neutron lifetime on helicity is proposed. It is shown that this contradicts the principle of relativity, and therefore the supposed effect can be a test of the principle of relativity in the weak interaction. A quantitative model of the effect was developed and experiments in which it can be measured were considered. The discussion and consequences of the effect are presented.
