The paper considers the peculiarities of unique scientific facilities operation (installations of the megascience class), special attention was paid to the activities of the International Center for ...Neutron Research on the basis of the high-flux research reactor PIK and the prospects for adapting foreign experience to Russian projects. A number of features of organizing access to the results of work on megascience facilities are described. It is shown that there is an access hierarchy structure with the gradual increase of open data impact. The problem of remote access to mega-installations and the organization of the corresponding business processes are considered. The results of the analysis of risks and challenges associated with the organization of work at megascience facilities are described. A number of practical steps have been proposed in order to optimize the use of the outcomes of unique scientific facilities operation. The mechanism of accounting for intellectual property objects is discussed, possible ways of assessing, examining and commercializing the results of scientific research through the cadastre of intellectual property are proposed. It is shown that a number of trends have received additional impetus due to the quarantine regime imposed in connection with the coronavirus infection in 2020.
Abstract
The paper considers the features of the unique scientific facilities network that is being formed within the framework of the national project “Science”. Such projects are a complex ...enterprise that requires a specific management apparatus and appropriate information and legal support. The prospects of implementing the best practices in the activities of high-flux research nuclear reactor PIK are considered. In particular, the mechanism of protection of the created objects of intellectual property, possible ways of evaluation, examination and commercialization of the results of scientific research are discussed. The possibility of using the mechanism of regulatory sandboxes for specific financial products arising as a result of the activities of a megascience class installation (for example, a mechanism for insuring the results of production within the framework of experiments, a procedure for protecting intellectual rights) is discussed. It is shown that experimental legal regimes are widely used in world practice and are a catalyst for the development and implementation of innovations. It is proposed to focus not only on the experience of advanced countries (such as EU, and the USA), but also on the approaches of developing countries that are creating their own scientific infrastructure (Brazil, Argentina). Regulatory sandbox implementation proposals in the field of megascience facilities regulation are formulated. The idea of the need to create exclusively unique products and abandon all options for mass production is expressed, the latter involves considering megascience facilities as unique not only in the scientific sense, but also in the field of legal regulation.
In order to create, ensure the functioning and effective use of the megascience-project, it is necessary to have a holistic view of the concept of "megascience", the basic processes and constraints ...that accompany this activity and the project life cycle. For this purpose an analysis of the life cycles of various megaprojects was carried out, and as a result of the analysis, the main stages characteristic of all the projects reviewed were identified. Also considered are approaches to the implementation of these stages and a list of possible restrictions and risks is defined. Based on the data obtained, a model for creating a megaproject on the territory of the Russian Federation is proposed, in particular, it is planned to apply the obtained result in the process of creating the International Center for Neutron Research based on the PIK high-flux research reactor. The reported study was funded by RFBR according to the research project № 18-29-15015.
Abstract
The article considers the issues of methodological and regulatory support for interaction with foreign and national scientific, profit and non-profit organizations, as well as individual ...scientists in the framework of research infrastructures established in the Russian Federation. The research infrastructures in the neutron field serves as an example, based on which a promising model of international cooperation, aimed at mitigating the negative impact of basic factors that arise when organizing effective interaction with foreign scientific organizations, is considered. The model represents the mechanisms that determine the properties and states of interactions between subjects and describes the processes of forming connections within the framework of the research infrastructure. The article also examines the successful experience of implementing multilateral scientific and technical cooperation within the framework of the activities of existing platforms, associations, forums, etc.
As part of the DarkSide program of direct dark matter searches using two-phase argon TPCs, a prototype detector with an active volume containing 10kg of liquid argon, DarkSide-10, was built and ...operated underground in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. A critically important parameter for such devices is the scintillation light yield, as photon statistics limits the rejection of electron-recoil backgrounds by pulse shape discrimination. We have measured the light yield of DarkSide-10 using the readily-identifiable full-absorption peaks from gamma ray sources combined with single-photoelectron calibrations using low-occupancy laser pulses. For gamma lines of energies in the range 122–1275keV, we get light yields averaging 8.887±0.003(stat)±0.444(sys) p.e./keVee. With additional purification, the light yield measured at 511keV increased to 9.142±0.006(stat) p.e./keVee.
A two-phase emission detector containing 5 kg of liquid Xe is installed at the horizontal experimental channel of the research nuclear reactor IRT MEPhI to measure the liquid Xe response to nuclei ...recoils with kinetic energies below 1 keV. Preliminary tests have demonstrated that ≥ 15 μs electron lifetime in liquid Xe and ~ 10 photoelectrons single ionization electron signal are achieved. These parameters are sufficient to detect and identify events at the single electron level.
