Director of the TRINITI
[Viacheslav D. Pismennyi (Pis’mennii (Pismennii), Viacheslav D., D. PM. S.
He was born in 1932; graduated from the physics department in the Moscow State
University. He is an expert in the field of quantum electronics and plasma physics,
being the author of more that 100 science works and inventions. For outstanding
contribution to the R&D on lasers intended for physics and technology applications
he was awarded the State Prizes. V. Pismennyi is editorial board member for the
“Plasma Physics” journal, also participating in RAS councils on plasma physics
and thermophysics problems. He is Professor of the Moscow Physics-Technology
Institute. V. Pismennyi takes an active part in international programs contacting
with a number of scientists. Corresponding member of the General Physics and
Astronomy Department of the Academy since 1984. Winner--with others--of the
1978 State Prize for the development of physical principles, establishment and
research in a gaseous laser, generated with the use of ionized radiation. Since 1979,
He has been of Troitsk Branch of the I. V. Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute of
Moscow.]
The Institute for Innovation and Fusion Research ( TRINITI ) in Troitsk is one of the
leaders in scientific research and high technology in Russia. Formerly TRINITI
was the branch of Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy.
Plasma physics, lasers, engineering applications of superconductivity, and magnetic
hydrodynamic (MHD) generators were among the subjects of their scientific
investigation. Theoretical basis for new areas of science and technology was
constructed by joint efforts of both physicist and engineers. It is worth noting,
however, that from its early days, the Troitsk Institute for Innovation and Fusion
Research was primarily focused on applications.
Experimental facilities of the Institute had been growing very rapidly and in a few years the
series of principally new and unique installations were completed.
Facilities for studies of nuclear fusion are the most advanced installations for fundamental
research at the TRINITI. The most prominent among them is the Tokamak-14,
often called the Strong Field Tokamak (SFT) and well known to physicists all over
the world, which has become operational in 1987. Especially interesting
experiments on inertial confinement fusion have been made at another big facility,
the Angara-5. Experiments made using both these systems are the essential part of
the ongoing exploration of ignition and burning of fusion reaction.
Several lasers (Mishen, TIR and others) have been created at the Institute for laser fusion
experiments. Important studies of processes in hot plasmas are conducted at
specialized facilities, Compact Torus and MK-200. Both theoretical and applied
aspects of laser physics and laser technology are always paid a special attention at
the Troitsk Institute. Wide range of lasers and laser systems are being developed at
the Institute over the years. Among them are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
