Vladimir Nikolayevich Gavrin
Wladimir Nikolajewitsch Gavrin ( Russian Владимир Николаевич Гаврин , English transcription Vladimir Gavrin ; born April 15, 1941 in Komsomolsk am Amur ) is a Russian neutrino physicist .
Gavrin is the son of a civil engineer and an economist who were among the builders of the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. He studied physics at Lomonosov University and, after graduating in 1965, became a member of a neutrino astrophysics group that was newly founded on the initiative of Moisei Alexandrowitsch Markow . In 1970 preparations began for the development of the Baksan Laboratory, with Gavrin in the group of Georgi Timofejewitsch Sazepin who developed the detector. In 1976 he received his doctorate. In 1977 he became head of the laboratory for radiochemical methods used for the detection of elemental conversions by the neutrinos in the detector. In 2006 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctorate) through work on the SAGE project.
He is at the Institute for Nuclear Research (INR) of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow and Troitsk and Director of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory (BNO). It is located near Baksan in the Caucasus and is the first such observatory on the territory of the former Soviet Union, which began operations in 1977. The telescope is installed there in a 300 m deep underground laboratory. The gallium-germanium neutrino telescope (GGNT) of the Russian-US-American SAGE project ( Soviet-American Gallium Experiment ) is also located there, consisting of a gallium detector of around 60 tons at a depth of 3500 m. The SAGE project, which has been in operation since 1989, contributed a lot to the observation of the solar neutrino flow. Gavrin is co-leader (and initiator) of the SAGE project from the Russian side.
In 2000 he received the Bruno Pontecorvo Prize . He is a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1998 he and his group received the State Prize of the Russian Federation . In 2003 he received the Markov Prize and in 2009 he was the first scientist to receive the Skobelzyn Gold Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
