Karen Avetovich Ter-Martirosjan
Karen Avetovich Ter-Martirosyan ( Russian Карен Аветович Тер-Мартиросян , English transcription Karen Avetovich Ter-Martirosyan ; born September 28, 1922 in Tbilisi ; † November 19, 2005 ) was a Soviet theoretical elementary physicist of Armenian descent.
Ter-Martirosjan studied physics at the State University in Tbilisi, graduating in 1943. He then taught physics for two years at the Railway Institute in Tbilisi. He then went on to study at the Physics-Technical Institute in Leningrad , where he received his doctorate under Jakow Frenkel and then worked in the theory department ( Lew Landau was also a colleague at the time). In 1955 he went to Moscow at ITEP , where he was in Isaak Pomeranschuk's theory group . In 1957 he received his habilitation there (Russian doctorate). Ter-Martirosjan stayed at ITEP, where he founded the Hadron Physics Laboratory and was the first professor of elementary particle physics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology .
In 1952 he developed the theory of the Coulomb excitation of nuclei (which was used experimentally a lot for the study of deformed nuclei) and around the same time (1952 to 1956) he solved the quantum mechanical three-particle problem for point interactions, which Ludwig Faddejew expanded in the 1960s In the 1960s he dealt with Regge theory for high-energy scattering processes and the increase in the interaction cross-section in processes of strong interaction at high energies. He also investigated these phenomena later in the context of quantum chromodynamics developed in the early 1970s . In the 1980s he and AB Kaidalov developed a model of the generation and decay of quark - gluon strings for particle generation phenomena in hadron- hadron and hadron-core collisions of high energy. Most recently, he dealt with B mesons , extensions of the Standard Model and neutrino physics .
His students include Alexander Polyakov , Vladimir Gribov , Alexander Samolodchikow , Arkady Migdal .
In 1999 he received the Pomeranchuk Prize and in 2000 he became a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences .
