FLNR FUNDAMENTAL & APPLIED RESEARCH PROGRAMME (further development in the frame of JINR’s 7-year’s plan) S.N. Dmitriev JINR, Dubna 111th Session of the Scientific Council February 2012

BASIC DIRECTIONS of RESEARCH 1. Heavy and superheavy nuclei:  synthesis and study of properties of superheavy elements;  chemistry of new elements;  fusion-fission and multi-nucleon transfer reactions;  nuclear-, mass-, & laser-spectrometry of SH nuclei. 3. Radiation effects and physical groundworks of nanotechnology 2. Light exotic nuclei:  properties and structure of light exotic nuclei;  reactions with exotic nuclei.

DRIBs-III  Modernization of existing accelerators (U400М & U400)  Creation of the new experimental hall (≈ 2600 м 2 )  Development and creation of next generation set-ups  Creation of high current heavy ion accelerator (A≤ 100, E ≤ 10 MeV ·A, I≥10 pµA) (A≤ 100, E ≤ 10 MeV ·A, I≥10 pµA) The DRIBs-III project should be realized at simultaneous implementation of SHE research program

4 Provisional Recommendation - Names and Symbols of the Elements with Atomic Numbers 114 and December 2011 A joint IUPAC/IUPAP Working Party (JWP) has confirmed the discovery of the elements with atomic numbers 114 and 116. In accord with IUPAC procedures, the discoverers proposed names as follows:  Flerovium and symbol, Fl, for the element with Z = 114 and  Livermorium with the symbol Lv for the element with Z = 116. The Inorganic Chemistry Division recommended these proposals for acceptance.
