The Group of Applied Radiochemistry is involved in the research and development of the purification methods of hydrogen and hydrogen isotope gases. The need for this research is dictated by the fact that the investigation of nuclear processes in the particle accelerators is conducted in hydrogen chambers.

      As a part of the Laboratory of Muon Catalysis, our group has been working for several years on the project "Muon catalysis of nuclear synthesis and its possible applications." Currently we are collaborating with the Group of Meso-Nuclear Reactions on the international project "Precise measurement of the velocity of muon capture on the proton in hydrogen gas" (µCAP Experiment). The work is being conducted at St.Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI, Russia) and Paul Sherrer Institute (PSI, Switzerland).
