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: Well, it doesn't stop you `fs.open`ing it as far as I can tell, for one thing.
gollark: PotatOS has several hundred lines of code for this (thousands depending on how you count them) and still security flaws are discovered every... month or so?
gollark: But it is VERY HARD to do well.
gollark: In CC/Lua it's easiest to use environments for this.
gollark: Sandboxing in general is just restricting what programs and stuff can do
