3. The P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute in Troitsk. (FIAN)
Retrospect: This institute was moved to Troitsk in 1963. The total number of personnel in
the institute in 1990 was about 1000. The Director of the institute since 1988 has
been L. V. Keldysh, (Keldish) a Lenin prize winner. The institute has more than 10
departments and laboratories engaged in energetic particle physics and quantum
electronics. The major part of the Institute’s Quantum Radio Physics Department is
sited in Troitsk where work on laser construction, the development and use in
technology, medicine, data processing and other fields of science and engineering is
carried out. The institute also maintains a special design office, the largest in the
Academy system, that provides equipment, scientific instruments, optics, crystals
with special characteristics, semiconductor and Opto-Electronics devices for the
physical experiments that are carried out in the institute.
Department of High Energy Physics of the institute from 1963 to 1990 was headed
by P. A. Cherenkov, the Nobel Prize winner--it is currently being headed by Dr. E.
I. Tamm--who formerly was Deputy head of the Photo-Meson Processes
Laboratory which, at that time was headed by Cherenkov. Laboratories of the
present High Energy Physics Department include: 1) the Photo-Meson processes
Laboratory; 2) the Electromagnetic Interactions Laboratory; 3) the High Energy
Nuclear Investigation Laboratory; 4) the Laboratory of Accelerators, and 5) the
Sector of Elementary Particles Physics. The Electron Synchrotron "Pakhra" is
located under this Department.
High Energy Physics Department,
Leninskii (skii) Prospect 53, 117924 Moscow B-333, Russia
High Energy Physics Department was organized by Academician P.A. Cherenkov, Nobel
Prize Winner. The Department scientists maintain wide international contacts with
world leading scientific centers carrying out investigations in high energy physics
by taking part in joint scientific projects at CERN and DESY.
Most of the Department (including Electron Synchrotron "Pakhra") is located in Troitsk.
