This paper presents the research program of the Experimental Accelerator Driven System (ADS), which employs a subcritical assembly and a 660 MeV proton accelerator operating in the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. Mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel (25% PuO[sub 2]+75% UO[sub 2]) designed for the BN-600 reactor use will be adopted for the core of the assembly. The present conceptual design of the experimental subcritical assembly is based on a core nominal unit capacity of 15 kW (thermal). This corresponds to the multiplication coefficient k[sub eff]=0.945, energetic gain G=30, and accelerator beam power of 0.5 kW. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Project of a new in-flight fragment separator is proposed as a part of the third generation DRIBs facilities in Dubna. As compared to the existing separator ACCULINNA, beam intensity should be increased by a factor 10–15, the beam quality improved and the RIB assortment should broaden considerably at ACCULINNA-2. Research program and structure are outlined for the new instrument. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hypernuclear program at Dubna was started in 1988 with investigation of the light hypernuclei production and decay. Nowadays we are planning to measure lifetime and cross section of Λ3H and Λ4H hypernuclei. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
