The Scientific Counsil of the Intitute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences awarded Markov Prize in 2014 for great contribution to theoretical and experimental investigations in the field of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics and neutrino astrophysics to
Igor TKACHEV, Corresponding Member of RAS, and
Alexander DOLGOV, Professor, NSU, ITEP, INFN,
for pioneering works in the field of theoretical astrophysics and cosmologyIgor TKACHEV is a well-known researcher in the fields of elementary particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. He made significant contributions into development of the early Universe theory.He solved problems of the vacuum shells dynamics in the General Relativity and the Universe reheating after Inflation; studied phase transitions in the early Universe; predicted and investigated the new effect of non-thermal phase transitions; examined the Kolmogorov turbulence in Bose condensation and thermolization of plasma; made significant contributions into studies of dark matter in the Universe, including its dynamics, origin and prospects for detection; pioneered astronomy of ultra-high energy charged particles.
Alexander DOLGOV is a well-known researcher in the fields of elementary particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. He is one of the pioneers who elaborated kinetic theory of elementary particles in expanding Universe, including neutrinos.He derived the condition of cyclic balance which replaces detailed balance when time-reversal symmetry is broken; studied the problem of cosmological vacuum energy and suggested a mechanism for its compensation. He made basic contributions into studies of particle creation by the external scalar field which laid the basis for the theory of post-inflation Universe reheating, including possibility of parametric resonance.
