Yevgeny Lwowitsch Feinberg
Yevgeny Lvovich Feinberg ( Russian Евгений Львович Фейнберг ., Scientific transliteration Evgenij L'vovič Fejnberg ; born June 14, jul. / 27. June 1912 greg. In Baku ; † 10. December 2005 ) was a Russian theoretical physicist.
Life
Feinberg was the son of a doctor and moved with his family from Baku to Moscow in 1918 and studied at Lomonosov University . Three years after graduating in 1935, he was at the Lebedev Institute in Moscow (FIAN) from 1938 , with which he has remained associated ever since. In 1939 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctorate) with Igor Tamm with a thesis on the ionization of atoms during beta decay of the atomic nucleus. During the Second World War he was concerned with the theory of radio wave propagation on earth and investigated acoustic object detection in high noise for sonar (1943), which led to applications in the Soviet Navy (with SG Gershman). From 1944 to 1949 he dealt with the theory of nuclear reactors (including methods of neutron spectroscopy from the deceleration time of neutrons). This led to his preoccupation with nuclear reactions and inelastic hadron scattering from the 1950s, partly with Isaak Pomeranschuk . From 1952 to 1978 he headed a theory group for high energy physics at the Lebedew Institute. He was also from 1944 to 1946 visiting professor at the University of Nizhninovgorod and from 1946 to 1954 professor at the Lomonosov University. In the 1970s he examined a. a. the lepton and photon production in hadron collisions and in the quark-gluon plasma .
Feinberg got involved with Andrei Sakharov, who was exiled to Gorky , and other civil rights activists. He was married to a musicologist and wrote several popular science books, including on the relationship between art and science.
In 1988 he received the S. I. Wawilow gold medal and in 2000 the Pomeranchuk Prize . He was a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1966 and a full member since 1997 .
