Lev Lipatov

Who is Lev Lipatov?

Lev Nikolaevich Lipatov is a Russian physicist, well known for his contributions to nuclear physics and particle physics. He is the head of Theoretical Physics Division at St. Petersburg's Nuclear Physics Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences in Gatchina. He is an Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

For the long period he worked with Professor Vladimir Gribov, laying a basis for a field theory description of deep inelastic scattering and annihilation. He wrote significant papers of the Pomeranchuk singularity in Quantum chromodynamics what resulted in deriving the BFKL evolution equation, contributed to the study of critical phenomena, the theory of tunnelling and renormalon contribution to effective couplings. He discovered the connection between high-energy scattering and the exactly solvable models.
