Evgenii Feinberg

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.[1] 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.
