Boris Jurjewitsch Scharkow ( Russian Борис Юрьевич Шарков , English transcription Boris Sharkov ; born February 11, 1950 in Moscow ) is a Russian physicist .

Life

Boris Sharkov studied physics from 1967 to 1973 at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute ( MEPhI ), at the Faculty of Theoretical and Experimental Physics . In 1979 he received his PhD in plasma physics .

At the invitation of ITEP , he organized the group for heavy ion research in laser-generated plasmas, which deals with the development of the source of highly charged ions for the ITEP accelerator . In 1991 he obtained his second doctorate (habilitation) in "Physics of the ion bundles of charged particle beams and accelerator physics ". In 1999 he received the title of professor of the Highest Attestation Commission in Russia and since 2005 he has held a chair at the National Research University MEPhI. Boris Scharkow has been a co-author and head of the project to modernize the ITEP accelerator since 1996: the ITEP proton accelerator is to be converted into a heavy ion accelerator . In 1997 he was Vice Director and from 2005 to 2008 Director of the ITEP State Research Center in Moscow.

Since 2010 he has been Scientific Managing Director of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe ; He was succeeded on January 1, 2017 by Paolo Giubellino .
