Lev Lipatov

Lev Nikolaevich Lipatov (Russian: Лев Никола́евич Липа́тов; 2 May 1940, Leningrad – 4 September 2017, Dubna)[1] was a Russian physicist, well known for his contributions to nuclear physics and particle physics. He has been the head of Theoretical Physics Division [2] at St. Petersburg's Nuclear Physics Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences in Gatchina and an Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences.[1]

For the long period he worked with Vladimir Gribov, laying a basis for a field theory description of deep inelastic scattering and annihilation (Gribov-Lipatov evolution equations, later known as DGLAP, 1972). He wrote significant papers of the Pomeranchuk singularity in Quantum chromodynamics (1977) what resulted in deriving the BFKL evolution equation (Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov), contributed to the study of critical phenomena (semiclassical Lipatov's approximation), the theory of tunnelling and renormalon contribution to effective couplings. He discovered the connection between high-energy scattering and the exactly solvable models (1994).

gollark: Oh, right, now to work on "my".
gollark: ```Oh look, it’s a cute baby... Comrade? It’s impossible to see much of its body through all the flames.Young Comrades are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.```
