(5) Laboratory for Theoretical Physics. This laboratory houses the 
computer center (with computers of the URAL-1 and KIYEV types) 
and the technical library. Its staff has engaged primarily in 
research in the areas of superconductivity and application to 
nuclear structure, neutrino theory, particle scattering, and 
dispersion relations. 
(6) Laboratory for Radiochemistry. Originally projected; no 
further mention. 
(7) Plant for Physical Instruments. Originally projected; no 
further mention. 
Besides the activities outlined for specific laboratories, other 
published work of interest describes, (1) apparatus developed to analyze 
bubble-chamber photographs; (2) a fiber scintillator using ultrafine strands 
of plastic fiber to transmit light produced by ionizing particles; and (3) a 
"ring" or "annular" phasotron, constant in time but with reversible-sign 
magnetic field, for increased charged-particle-beam intensity and accelera- 
tion of particles to relativistic energies suggesting theoretical work on a 
unified-field theory. 
In 1961, a branch of the Physics Faculty of Moscow University was 
opened at the Institute. In addition, there is close cooperation with all 
scientific institutions throughout the U.S.S.R. and member nations; 125 
collaborators from satellite countries were working at the Institute by 
1960. Members of the staff regularly attend international conferences and 
have worked, under exchange agreements, at scientific institutions of 
Western countries.
