A century of the Bose–Einstein condensation concept and half a century of the JINR experiments for observation of condensate in superfluid 4He (He II)
This short review is devoted to the celebration of two major events in quantum physics. The first one is the birth of the concept of Bose–Einstein condensation (1925) and the second is the experimental proof that it does exist and appears in liquid 4 He simultaneously with superfluidity below the λ-point (1975). Both of these events are tightly related to the Bogoliubov theory of superfluidity (1947). The existence of condensate in the system of interacting bosons is the key ansatz of this theory. Therefore, the experiments started at JINR-Dubna in 1975 confirmed this prediction of the Bogoliubov theory that superfluidity of liquid 4 He (He II) should emerge at the same time as the Bose–Einstein condensation.

Complex rational Ruijsenaars model. The two-particle case
We consider a complex rational degeneration of the hyperbolic Ruijsenaars model emerging in the limit ω 1 + ω 2 → 0 (or b → i in 2 d CFT) and investigate the two-particle case in detail. Corresponding wave functions are described by complex hypergeometric functions in the Mellin–Barnes representation. Their dual integral representation and reflection symmetry in the coupling constant are established. Besides, a complex limit of the hyperbolic Baxter Q- operators is considered. Another complex degeneration of the hyperbolic Ruijsenaars model is obtained by taking a special ω 1 − ω 2 → 0 (or b → 1) limit. Additionally, two new degenerations to the complex Calogero–Sutherland type models are described.

Figure-8 synchrotron for polarized protons and deuterons at the NICA accelerator complex
The paper considers a possibility to use the figure-8 synchrotron as a replacement of the Nuclotron for acceleration of polarized proton and deuteron beams at the NICA accelerator complex. The synchrotron arcs are placed inside the NICA collider tunnel. The presented design enables preservation of polarization for any ion species ( p , d , 3 He, etc.) in the entire energy range of the synchrotron. Because of its shape, the ring operates in the spin transparency mode. The direction of polarization is controlled by a spin navigator which uses weak solenoidal fields. The synchrotron can also be used as a storage ring for high precision experiments with polarized beams beyond its use as an injector to the collider. The results of numerical simulations of spin dynamics for acceleration of protons and deuterons are presented.
