Wassili Wassiljewitsch Parchomchuk

Wassili Wassiljewitsch Parchomchuk , Russian Василий Васильевич Пархомчук , English transcription Vasili or Vasily Parkhomchuk, (born September 1, 1946 ) is a Russian physicist . He is internationally recognized as an expert in electron cooling .

Parchomchuk studied at the Novosibirsk State University from 1964 to 1968 , where he was a student of Gersch Izkowitsch Budker . In the 1960s he was a pioneer there in the field of electron cooling in particle accelerators, which Budker first proposed in 1966. The method was successfully tested for the first time on the NAP-M storage ring of the Budker Institute from 1971 to 1980, with the significant contribution of Parkhomchuk. He set up electron cooling systems at accelerators around the world, for example at GSI (Synchrotron SIS-18, 1998), 2001 to 2004 at the Institute for Modern Physics in China (CSR project), at COZY (Jülich) and CERN (LHC).

He heads the laboratory for electron cooling at the Budker Institute. In 1997 he became a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In 2016 he received the Robert R. Wilson Prize and in 2002 the State Prize of the Russian Federation .
