Main lines of research:

plasma electronics and physics of high-current beams; physics and engineering of heavy-charged-particle accelerators; research and development of new acceleration methods.

Academician Ya. B. Fainberg school of plasma electronics and new methods of charged-particle acceleration works at the Institute.

Research results proposed for cooperative commercialization:

1. development of new-generation high-power stochastic/regular radiation generators and amplifiers based on the interaction of charged beams with plasma;

2. research and development of new methods of acceleration; studies into the processes and mechanisms of acceleration in plasma-beam systems, aimed at: producing high-intensity accelerating fields necessary for high-energy linear accelerators; development of high-current proton and heavy-ion accelerators for beam-controlled thermonuclear fusion, plasma heating and various technological and ecological applications;

3. studies of the effects of regular and stochastic electromagnetic radiations, electron/ion/plasma fluxes and ionizing radiations on matter, structural materials, microelectronics components and biological objects;

4. elaboration of R&D principles of electronuclear environment-friendly power production; development of nuclear-physics methods for transmutation of nuclear waste; development of methods for magnetic isotope separation of transuranium elements;

5. studies of nonequilibrium plasma-chemical processes in gas discharges and plasma-beam discharges to be used in developing energy-saving and environment-friendly technologies for industry, agriculture and medicine.
