Evgenii L'vovich Feinberg
(27 June 1912 - 10 December 2005)
was a Soviet physicist, well known for his contributions to
theoretical physics
.
He was a son to a physician, born in Baku
, moving to Moscow in 1918 where he
graduated from Moscow State University
as a theoretical physicist in 1935.
He worked at Lebedev Physical Institute
in Troitsk, Moscow Oblast
since 1938,
from where he published over hundred
works in his field.
Mainly, he studied radio physics (wave propagation),
statistical acoustics, the neutron, cosmic rays and particle physics.
In his early years, he studied the Beta-decay of ionized atoms (1939),
inelastic coherent processes (1941) and inelastic diffraction
processes (1954).
He headed the high-energy particle interaction research groups 1952-78.
Was a guest professor at Nizhny Novgorod State University
1944-46 and a
professor at his former school, Moscow Engineering Physics Institute
1946-54, at what is now the
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
