Wilen Mitrofanowitsch Strutinski
Wilen Mitrofanovich Strutinski ( Russian Вилен Митрофанович Струтинский , English transcription Vilen Mitrofanovich Strutinsky ; born October 16, 1929 in Odessa ; † June 28, 1993 in Rome ) was a Soviet nuclear physicist.
Life
Strutinski graduated from high school in Odessa in 1946 (after the family had been evacuated to Sverdlovsk during World War II ). He studied at the University of Odessa and the State University in Kharkov with a degree in theoretical physics in 1952. Then he was at the Kurchatov Institute in the department of Arkady Migdal and dealt with nuclear physics. He stayed there until 1970. In 1959 he received his doctorate from the MIFI . In 1965 the habilitation (Russian doctorate) followed at the JINR in Dubna . He was allowed to travel abroad early on, for example to the Netherlands in 1956, to the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen in 1957/58 , to Canada in 1960 and to the USA in 1963/64.
In the 1950s he dealt with alpha decay in deformed nuclei (topic of his dissertation) and the angular distribution of the fissure fragments in rotating nuclei. He remained faithful to theoretical research on the phenomenon of nuclear fission .
From 1967 to 1970 he was visiting professor at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. He then went to the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kiev as head of the theoretical nuclear physics department, which he remained until 1991.
Strutinski became known for the development of a theory of nuclear fission (and general deformations in the droplet model ) with shell theory corrections (from 1966). Following Martin Gutzwiller's trace formula, he developed a semiclassical approach to shell theory effects.
In the 1980s he dealt with heavy ion reactions.
In 1978 he received the Tom W. Bonner Prize for Nuclear Physics and in 1991 he received the Humboldt Research Prize . In 1979 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Copenhagen .
Strutinski died in Rome in 1993 on the way to Greece, where he wanted to attend a conference.
