Lev Lipatov
Lev Nikolaevich Lipatov was a Russian physicist, well known for his contributions to nuclear physics and particle physics. He has been the head of Theoretical Physics Division at St. Petersburg's Nuclear Physics Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences in Gatchina and an Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
For the long period he worked with 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.Awards
