The Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) is one of the major centres of advanced study of nuclear physics in Russia. It is located in the Siberian town Akademgorodok, on Academician Lavrentiev Avenue. The institute was founded by Gersh Itskovich Budker in 1959. Following his death in 1977, the institute was renamed in honour of Academician Budker. Despite its name, the centre was not involved either with military atomic science or nuclear reactors instead, its concentration was on high-energy physics (particularly plasma physics) and particle physics. In 1961 the institute began building VEP-1,〔A. N.

Baier, "Forty years of acting electron-positron colliders", (arXiv:hep-ph/0611201 ) ((PDF ) | (PS )).〕 the first particle accelerator in the Soviet Union which collided two beams of particles, just a few month after the ADA collider became operational at the Frascati National Laboratories in Italy in February 1961.〔Carlo Bernardini, "AdA: The First Electron-Positron Collider", (PDF ))〕 The BINP now employs over 3000 people, and hosts several research groups and facilities. ==Active facilities== * (VEPP-4 ) - e+e− collider for the energy range 2Ebeam up to 12 GeV * * (KEDR ) - detector for particle physics experiments at VEPP-4 * * (ROKK-1 ) - facility for experiments with high energy polarized gamma-ray beams at VEPP-4 * VEPP-2000 - e+e− collider for the energy range 2Ebeam=0.4-2.0 GeV * * SND - Spherical Neutral Detector for particle physics experiments at VEPP-2000 * * (CMD-3 ) - Creogenic Magnetic Detector for particle physics experiments at VEPP-2000 * (Electron cooling ) experiments * Plasma physics experiments * * (GOL3 ) - long open plasma trap * * (GDL ) - gas-dynamic plasma trap * (Siberian Synchrotron Radiation Centre ) BINP is contributing toward the construction of CERN's Large Hadron Collider, providing equipment including beamline magnets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
