Chudakov, Aleksandr E., D. PM. S. Born in 1921 in Moscow. Russian physicist.
(Son of E. A. Chudakov.) Corresponding member of the Nuclear Physics
Department of the Academy since 1966, and academician since 1987. He graduated
from Moscow State University in 1947. From 1946 to 1971, he was on the staff of
the Institute of Physics of the AN SSSR. In 1971, he joined the Institute of Nuclear
Research of the AN SSSR. Since 1976, he has been Head of the Lepton High
Energy Department of the Lepton High Energy and Neutrino Astrophysics
Laboratory of the Nuclear Research Institute in Moscow. His works include the
study of the properties of cosmic rays. He developed a method for measuring the
energy of a particle that caused a cosmic ray shower. Together with S. N. Vernov
and others, he discovered the earth's outer radiation belt. Lenin Prize, 1960. (GSE
29, p. 190.)
Feynberg (Feinberg), Evgenii. L., D. PM. S. Born in 1912 in Baku. Russian
theoretical physicist. Corresponding member of the Nuclear Physics Department of
the Academy since 1966. He graduated from Moscow University in 1935. In 1938,
he joined the staff of the Institute of Physics of the AN SSSR. He was a professor
at the University of Gorkiy from 1944 to 1946 and at the Moscow Physical
Engineering Institute from 1946 to 1954. Since 1968, he has served as deputy
Chief of the Theoretical Laboratory of the P. N. Lebedev Physics Institute in
Moscow. His works have been in nuclear physics, radio physics, acoustics, the
physics of elementary particles and cosmic rays. In 1939, he conducted a detailed
investigation of the ionization of atoms during Beta-decay. He initiated study of
inelastic coherent processes (1941) and inelastic diffraction processes (1954). From
1943 to 1955, he developed a statistical theory of the noise immunity of acousticsignal
reception and proposed a correlation technique for the analysis of acoustic
signals. He serves currently as an advisor to the Theoretical Physics Department of
the Lebedev Physical Institute at FIAN in Troitsk. (GSE 27, p. 139.)
Fradkin, Efim S., D. PM. S. Born in February 1924 in Gomel Oblast, Byelorussian
SSR. Russian physicist. Corresponding member of the Nuclear Physics
Department of the Academy since 1970; academician in 1993. He served in the
Soviet army from 1942 to 1947. In 1948, he graduated from the University of
L'vov. He began working at the Institute of Physics of the AN SSSR and the RAS
in 1948. Since 1972, he has been Head of the Functional Integration Techniques
Department of Theoretical Laboratory of the P. N. Lebedev Physics Institute in
Moscow. His works are in quantum field theory, quantum statistics, and
hydrodynamics. Recipient of the State Prize, 1953. He currently serves as an
advisor to the Theoretical Physics Department of FIAN of the Lebedeve Physical
Institute in Troitsk. (GSE 27, p. 313.)
Ginzburg, Vitalii L., D. PM. S. Born in 1916 in Moscow. Russian physicist.
Academician since 1966. Originally elected to the General and Applied Physics
Department. Principal membership in the General Physics and Astronomy
Department. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1938. From 1940, he
worked at the Institute of Physics of the AN SSSR. He became a professor at the
University of Gorkiy in 1945. Since 1971, he has been Head of Theoretical
Laboratory of the Nuclear Physics Division of the P. N. Lebedev Physics Institute
in Moscow and since 1976, Head of the Theoretical Physics Department. His
works are on the theory of wave propagation in the ionosphere, radio astronomy,
problems in the origin of cosmic rays, thermodynamic the theory of ferroelectric
phenomena, the theory of superconductivity, optics, the theory of radiation, and
astrophysics. In 1940, he worked out the quantum theory of the Cherenkov-
Vavilov effect and the theory of Cherenkov radiation in crystals. With L. D.
Landau, he formulated a phenomenological theory of superconductivity. In 1950-
