Nuclotron
The Nuclotron is a particle accelerator located in Dubna, Russia. It is designed to accelerate heavy ions, such as gold and lead, to high energies for research in nuclear physics. The facility plays a crucial role in studying the properties of nuclear matter and exploring fundamental questions about the universe.
Developed in the late 1980s, the Nuclotron uses a unique magnetic system to achieve its acceleration. It is part of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) and collaborates with various international research projects. The findings from experiments conducted at the Nuclotron contribute to our understanding of quark-gluon plasma and other phenomena in particle physics.
