Vadim Georgievich Soloviev

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wadim Georgievich Soloviev ( Russian Вадим Георгиевич Соловьев , English transcription Vadim Georgievich Soloviev ; born October 12, 1925 in Kazan ; † December 2, 1998 ) was a Russian theoretical nuclear physicist.

Life

Solovyov was the son of two doctors and studied after military service from 1943 to 1945 at the Leningrad State University, graduating in 1950 and then working in the Soviet nuclear energy program in Dubna ( laboratory for hydraulic engineering ). In 1953 he met Nikolai Nikolajewitsch Bogoljubow and went to this at the Steklow Institute and the Lomonossow University in Moscow. In 1956 he received his doctorate from Bogoljubow (construction of approximated Green functions in pseudoscalar meson theory). In 1956 he was a founding member of the Laboratory for Theoretical Physics of the United Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna.

There he dealt with questions of parity violation in the strong interaction and he developed a theory of pair correlations analogous to the microscopic theory of superconductivity in nuclei previously developed by Bogolyubov. He developed the theory from 1958 to 1962, partly at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and wrote his habilitation (Russian doctorate) about it in 1962, pair correlations of the superconductor type in nuclei . In 1963 he became head of the department of nuclear physics of low and medium energy at the laboratory for theoretical physics in Dubna and its vice director (until 1987). He was the founder of the school for theoretical nuclear physics in Dubna. From 1965 to 1991 he was professor of theoretical nuclear physics at Lomonossow University , where he had been giving lectures since 1961.

In the mid-1960s he dealt intensively with nuclear structure, especially the microscopic theory of low-energy vibration excitations (quadrupole, octupole) of deformed nuclei and their interaction with quasiparticle excitations. He worked closely with experimenters in Leningrad and Dubna. In the 1970s he developed a quasiparticle-phonon model of the nucleus (Quasiparticle-Phonon-Nuclear-Model QPNM), the first success of which was a calculation of the width of giant resonances in heavy nuclei.

In 1976, 1980 and 1995 he and his colleagues received the first prize of the JINR in Dubna.

He was an Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation and received the Great Silver Medal of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences.

Petr Vogel was one of his students .
