• Development of the concept for the UCN source at the pulsed reactor.
• Design of a neutron moderator device for the UCN source at the pulsed reactor.
• Investigation of the possibility of constructing a radiation-resistant UCN neutron guide with losses and a fraction of non-mirror reflections ~10-3 per hit.
• Investigation of the possibility of implementing temporal focusing of slow neutrons.
• Development and construction of a new experimental facility for studying the recently observed phenomenon of unsteady heating of UCNs on surface acoustic waves.
• Design and development of the required experimental equipment to carry out an experiment to measure the extraction efficiency of very cold neutrons from a source with a specially designed reflector.
• Investigation of non-stationary quantum effects for slow neutrons as well.
• Simulation of the propagation of very cold neutrons (VCN) in various diamond nanopowders for
optimizing their parameters and increasing the efficiency of VCN extraction from the source.
• Investigation of the impact of the density of diamond nanopowders on the properties of slow neutron reflectors developed on their basis.
• Participation in the development of a project for the UCN source at the WWR-K reactor.
