“People from Baikal”. Nikolay Mikhailovich Budnev
Nikolay Mikhailovich Budnev, the Dean of the Faculty of Physics of Irkutsk State University, stood at the origins of the Baikal Neutrino Telescope. For over 40 years, since 1981, he has been involved in this project.
The latest edition of the “Let’s voice it” podcast (presenters: Nastya Lotareva (BBC) and Vladimir Shvedov (“Takie dela” (Russian for: “That is the way it is”)) was devoted to Nikolay Mikhailovich and the Baikal Neutrino Observatory. The edition was based on the article “Two thousand three hundred eyes of Baikal. How the Universe is studied in the Earth’s deepest lake” by Natalia Sokolnikova, the journalist of the “People from Baikal” journal.
For your reference:
The Baikal Neutrino Telescope is being constructed with concerted efforts of the international collaboration with the leading role of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna) and the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow). In total, more than 70 scientists and engineers from ten research centres of Russia, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are involved in the project.
