Professional training for mega-science projects is a matter of pressing concern. The National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (NRNU MEPhI) created online courses on the topic of Strategic Academic ...Units (SAU). These courses are published on the most popular international platforms for mass open educational resources: Coursera and edX. NRNU MEPhI online courses are also presented on the National Open Education Platform and the Educational Portal of NRNU MEPhI. NRNU MEPhI students participate in various modern international projects, including megaprojects of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) among which are creation of the NICA collider, experiments on the synthesis of new elements, research in the field of the physics of condensed state of matter and environmental science carried out at a high-resolution neutron source. At the initiative of the JINR University Centre, the JINR Educational Portal was created. It hosts online courses created by JINR scientists on the topic of mega-projects. The report discusses proposals on the possible integration of the efforts of NRNU MEPhI teachers and JINR scientists in creating a digital multidisciplinary educational environment, which will support formation of individual learning trajectories for professionals for their further work in mega-science projects.

Purpose. A phenomenon called MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) plays a special, “revolutionary” role, introducing of online learning for all stages of the educational process. Today there are a lot ...of MOOCs, the largest of them: Coursera, edX, Udacity. In connection with the large amount of resources for additional education, a number of questions arise: “How to choose the suitable course as an additional education, how to use the capabilities of MOOCs to improve the quality of the educational process at the university, how to minimize the time for finding the desired course on different platforms?”The purpose of the work is to create a unified information resource that allows you to integrate relevant information from various MOOCs, to reduce the time for finding an appropriate online course for the user, and to raise awareness about new courses and popular specializations, related to information technology.Materials and methods. Web-service is designed as one of the components of the information-educational environment of the Institute of System Analysis and Management. It is aimed at different groups of users: “motivated” students, “unmotivated” students, and lecturers.The initial data for the service is open information about the current online courses on the MOOCs Coursera, edX and Udacity.Each project has its own API, which allows you to get information about online courses. Since MOOCs do not have a common vocabulary in order to use it for searching, there is the problem of creating such a dictionary. To do this we use the Stack Exchange resource (stackexchange.com). The list of keywords is formed through the Stack Exchange API – we select the most popular tags on sites softwareengineering.stackexchange.com and cs.stackexchange.com.Results. As the first stage of implementation, a web application was developed that allows you to view and filter the lists of courses and to see detailed information about the courses.Conclusion. Today there are alpha-versions of two web-services within the information-educational environment of the Dubna State University. The first one is the web-service for collecting and analyzing data on the vacancies of specialists in the field of information technologies from the most popular Internet resources and the webservice that allows integrating information about online courses from the leading MOOC-sites.
We report on first measurements of low-mass electron-positron pairs in Pb-Au collisions at the CERN SPS beam energy of 40 AGeV. The observed pair yield integrated over the range of invariant masses ...0.2<m</=1 GeV/c(2) is enhanced over the expectation from neutral meson decays by a factor of 5.9+/-1.5(stat)+/-1.2(syst data)+/-1.8(syst meson decays), somewhat larger than previously observed at the higher energy of 158 AGeV. The results are discussed with reference to model calculations based on pi(+)pi(-)-->e(+)e(-) annihilation with a modified rho propagator. They may be linked to chiral symmetry restoration and support the notion that the in-medium modifications of the rho are more driven by baryon density than by temperature.
Results are presented of a two-pion interferometry (HBT) analysis in Pb+Au collisions at 40, 80, and 158

and in bins of the centrality of the collision. From these results we extract model-dependent information about the space–time evolution of the reaction. An investigation of the effective volume of the pion emitting system provides an important tool to study the properties of thermal pion freeze-out.
Differential triangular flow, v3(pT), of negative pions is measured at sNN=17.3 GeV around midrapidity by the CERES/NA45 experiment at CERN in central PbAu collisions in the range 0–30% with a mean ...centrality of 5.5%. This is the first measurement as a function of transverse momentum of the triangular flow at SPS energies. The pT range extends from about 0.05 GeV/c to more than 2 GeV/c. The triangular flow magnitude, corrected for the HBT effects, is smaller by a factor of about 2 than the one measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC and the ALICE experiment at the LHC. Within the analyzed range of central collisions no significant centrality dependence is observed. The data are found to be well described by a viscous hydrodynamic calculation combined with an UrQMD cascade model for the late stages.
We report on results of a measurement of meson production in central Pb-Au collisions at E(lab) = 158A GeV. For the first time in the history of high energy heavy-ion collisions, phi mesons were ...reconstructed both in the K+K- and the dilepton decay channels in the same experiment. This measurement yields rapidity densities near midrapidity, from the two decay channels, of 2.05 +/- 0.14(stat) +/- 0.25(syst) and 2.04 +/- 0.49(stat) +/- 0.32(syst), respectively. The shape of the measured transverse momentum spectrum is also in close agreement in both decay channels. The data rule out a possible enhancement of the phi yield in the leptonic over the hadronic decay channel of a factor 1.6 or larger at the 95% C.L. This rules out the discrepancy reported in the literature between measurements of the hadronic and dimuon decay channels by two different experiments.
