Time's witnesses

Video Project “Chronograph. Time’s Witnesses” is aimed at preserving memories of staff researchers of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems about the Lab history, scientists, experiments and discoveries. We ask our interviewees about their work, colleagues, projects and interesting facts. We are eager to know how the Laboratory changed with time, how facilities were constructed and discoveries made. DLNP's present-day achievements are based on the foundation of maintaining consistency of scientific knowledge and traditions. Being mindful of history and predecessors is our obligation and aim.

An interview with Gil Brunovich Pontecorvo, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, an advisor to the Directorate of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems. Gil Pontecorvo has been working at DLNP since 1962. He is an expert in developing the streamer chamber technique, and also in studying pion scattering by nuclei of helium isotopes using a high-pressure streamer spectrometer. His series of papers on the development and experimental application of the high-pressure streamer spectrometer was awarded the First JINR Prize in 1972 and the Second JINR Prize in 1978. In 1976 G. B. Pontecorvo successfully defended the candidate dissertation “Development and usage of helium streamer chambers in a physics experiment”.
