Arseni Alexandrovich Sokolov

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arseni Alexandrowitsch Sokolow ( Russian Арсе́ний Алекса́ндрович Соколо́в ; born March 19, 1910 in Novonikolajewsk ; † October 19, 1986 in Moscow ) was a Soviet theoretical physicist.

Sokolow, the son of a teacher, studied from 1927 at the Tomsk State University with the degree in 1931 and received his doctorate there in 1934 under Pyotr Tartakowski (candidate title, title of the dissertation: The movement of electrons in the crystal lattice). He was then assistant and from 1935 assistant professor at Tomsk University. In 1939 he moved to Sverdlovsk , where he taught at the Pedagogical Institute and the University as a professor. In 1942 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctorate) at the Joffe Institute , which was then evacuated from Leningrad to Kazan . From 1945 he was a professor at Lomonossow University (on the initiative of Dmitri Dmitrijewitsch Ivanenkoand supported by Kurchatov ), where he was dean of the physics faculty from 1948 to 1954 (under his direction the new buildings in the Lenin Hills were built) and from 1966 to 1982 head of the theoretical physics department. He was also the leader of the Communist Party in the physics faculty and secretary of the Communist Party.

He dealt with quantum field theory and elementary particle physics, and as early as the 1930s he worked closely with Iwanenko on questions of elementary particle theory and published it in international journals. With Ivanenko he developed the theory of synchrotron radiation in accelerators. He worked a lot with Ivanenko and with his doctoral student Igor Mikhailovich Ternov . With Ternow he discovered various relativistic effects on accelerators, such as the self-polarization of electrons by synchrotron radiation in strong magnetic fields (Sokolov-Ternov effect). The effect was first observed in 1971 at the Budker Institute for Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk . In 1953 he and Ternov also predicted quantum fluctuations of electron orbits in accelerators.

In 1976 he received the State Prize of the USSR and in 1950 the Stalin Prize . In 1971 he became an Honored Scientist of the USSR.
