Alexander Dmitrievich Dolgov

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Dmitrijewitsch Dolgov ( Russian Александр Дмитриевич Долгов , English transcription Alexander Dolgov ; born July 1, 1941 ) is a Russian physicist who is particularly concerned with cosmology of the early universe and astroparticle physics.

Dolgow graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MPTI) in experimental nuclear physics in 1964 and then went to the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP), where he received his doctorate in 1969 ( Symmetries in Electromagnetic and Weak Interaction ) and habilitated in 1982 ( Russian PhD , Cosmology and Elementary Particles ). In 1970 he became a senior researcher at ITEP and in 1984 a senior scientist. From 1996 he was professor in Copenhagen at the Center for Theoretical Astrophysics (TAC, with Igor Dmitrijewitsch Novikow ) and from 2000 at the Italian National Nuclear Research Institute (INFN) in its Ferrara section . Since 2006 he has been a professor at the University of Ferrara .

He was visiting professor in Lisbon and Dortmund.

He initially dealt with quantum field theory and elementary particle physics and later mainly with the cosmology of the early universe and the connections to particle physics. He examined the effect of neutrino oscillations on element formation in the Big Bang, gave upper limits for neutrino masses from cosmology and examined mechanisms of baryogenesis and antimatter in the universe. He foretold the possibility of dark energy early on .

In 1996 he received the Landau Weizmann Prize for theoretical physics at the Weizmann Institute. In 2009 he received the Bruno Pontecorvo Prize , and in 2014 the Markow Prize .

He is married and has two children.
