The Astana branch of the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a unique scientific center that includes the heavy ion accelerator complex DC-60, the laboratory of tracking membrane technology, the laboratory of solid state physics and the laboratory of nuclear physics. The complex was commissioned in 2006. The main purpose for establishment of this complex was the association of synergistic links between education, training of young personnel for the nuclear industry and science, with the ability to perform unique research in the area of nuclear physics, solid state physics, radiation materials science, nanotechnology and track membranes production.
The basis of the complex is a unique physical facility - the heavy ions accelerator DC-60, constructed jointly with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. Today, this accelerator makes it possible to produce the beams of charged ions 12,13C, 14,15N, 16,17O, 32S, 20Ne, 40Ar, 84Kr, 132Xe and solids 6,7Li, 56Fe with energies of 0.5-1.75 MeV/nucleon.
The main applications of these ion beams are unique research in the area of radiation materials science and ion implantation of materials, the development of unique modification methods, including low-temperature irradiation of materials, simulation of real conditions of reactor irradiation with fission fragments at the temperatures of 300-1000 K, measurements of ionoluminescence during interaction high-energy ions with materials, production of track membranes for membrane filters and membrane distillation.
At the moment, three scientific laboratories are successfully operating in the Astana branch:
