Anton Panteleimonowitsch Komar ( Russian Антон Пантелеймонович Комар * January 30 . Jul / 12. February  1904 greg. In Beresna ; † 14. March 1985 ) was a Ukrainian - Russian physicist and university teacher .

Life

The farmer's son Komar entered the grammar school in Bila Tserkva in 1917 , which became a workers' school after the October Revolution . From 1920 he worked in the physical cabinet of the mechanical engineering center in Bila Zerkwa and became an optics master for optical devices. In 1924 he began studying at the mechanical faculty of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute on the recommendation of the Kiev Governorate Union Soviet . Even before graduating, he became in 1929 publicly aspirants for Physics determined.

From 1930 Komar worked in Leningrad as an aspirant in the Physics-Technical Institute (FTI) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)). In 1933 he became head of the phase transformation department of the Institute for Metals of the Ural Department of the AN-SSSR in Sverdlovsk, which was founded in 1931 as a branch of the FTI . In 1935 he received his doctorate without defending a dissertation as a candidate in physical-mathematical sciences . In 1937 he founded the chair for crystal structure analysis at the Ural University in Sverdlovsk , which he headed until 1947, and the X-ray laboratory. Komar made fundamental contributions to nuclear physics , the methodology and technology of nuclear physics experiments and the physics of metals and ferrites . In 1943 he defended his doctoral thesis . In 1946 he put the first betatron into operation in the USSR .

In 1948 Komar was elected a full member of the Academy of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic . At the same time he was transferred to the Lebedev Institute for Physics in Moscow as Vice Director . There he participated together with Vladimir Iossifowitsch Weksler in the development of electron accelerators .

In 1950 Komar returned to the Leningrad FTI as director and headed it until 1957. His successor was Boris Pavlovich Konstantinov . In 1951 Komar became head of the chair at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute (LPI) and remained so until 1969. His investigations into the nuclear photo effect contributed significantly to the understanding of the interaction mechanisms of gamma rays and atomic nuclei .

In 1963 Komar became head of the Laboratory for Nuclear Physics, founded in 1956 as a branch of the FTI in Gatchina , which in 1971 became the independent institute for nuclear physics of the AN-SSSR. In 1976 he had to give up the management due to his serious illness. He has been the author of a wide variety of publications.
