Scientific and educational centre “NEVOD”. The centre includes the unique scientific facility «Experimental complex NEVOD» to study cosmic rays.

• Cherenkov water detector (CWD) of 2000 m3 volume with a spatial lattice of the quasi-spherical modules (QSM);
• Coordinate-tracking detector DÉCOR with the total area 70 m² and a high spatial and angular resolution for the detection of multi-particle events at large zenith angles;
• Wide-aperture muon hodoscope URAGAN with the total setup area 46 m2 for real-time detection and analysis of variations of muon fluxes from any direction limited by the detector acceptance in the range of zenith angles from 0 to 80 degrees;
• URAN facility with a total area of 10³ m² for detection of atmospheric neutrons.

Laboratory for experimental nuclear physics:

• Development of detectors for nuclear power plant monitoring by neutrino radiation
• Research on neutrino fundamental properties
• Development of novel detectors in high energy physics
