ACTIVITIES:
The Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) conducts research in the following areas: elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, theoretical physics, accelerator physics and techniques, plasma physics, thermonuclear fusion, synchrotron radiation, and free electron lasers.[1] BINP was cooperating with the US on building a supercollider, but the US canceled the project in 1994.[2] The Institute cooperates with research institutes and laboratories in the USA, Germany, France, Italy, and other countries. BINP has constructed more than 120 electron accelerators for facilities in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Germany, Japan, China, Poland, Hungary, Romania, South Korea, Italy, and India.[1] It also has foreign contracts for the delivery of other equipment, for example, wigglers for synchrotron radiation sources.[3]
