2025: Product Announcement
On April 18, 2025, representatives of the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the SB RAS reported that scientists from the PRC will participate in the creation of a new Russian electron-positron collider VEPP-6 in Novosibirsk. The project will cost about ₽23 billion, and construction will take about five years.
According to RBC, Chinese scientists have already submitted an offer to the PRC authorities to finance the project. Ivan Logashenko, Deputy Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the SB RAS, noted that a preliminary agreement was reached on joint work on VEPP-6 with Chinese physicists, but it is still difficult to say which systems the Chinese side will be responsible for.
The conceptual design of the new collider of the INF SB RAS is planned to be prepared by the end of 2026. Representatives of about 10-15 countries will participate in the experiments on the installation. The VEPP-6 collider will be built on the site of the current VEPP-4M collider, the program of experiments at which is being completed.
Deputy Director of the Institute Yevgeny Levichev said that specialists from the INF SB RAS have already made a prototype of a superconducting magnet for the future electron-positron collider. This magnet will allow the electron beams to be focused in such a way that they will collide not head-on, but at a sufficiently large angle. This will greatly compress the particles at the meeting point, increase their density and increase the luminosity (number of collisions) by 10-100 times.
The Institute of Nuclear Physics is mastering the technology of manufacturing superconducting magnets, which has not yet been done in Russia. The method to be used was proposed in 2006 by the Italian physicist Pantaleo Raimondi and is called Crab Waist (meeting the "crab" constriction). It has already been tested at some installations in the world, and at the INF SB RAS it will be tested even before the construction of the VEPP-6 at the existing VEPP-4M collider.[1][2]
