“The Gist of His Life Was His Work”
These are the milestones of the life of Venedikt Petrovich Dzhelepov. The 12th day of April will mark his 110th anniversary. Being an outstanding science administrator, born leader, gifted physicist, Venedikt Petrovich will remain forever in grateful memories of his colleagues and collaborators. He took an active part in the construction of the first basic facility of the future JINR, the synchrocyclotron. Later, he led the reconstruction of this accelerator: its conversion into a high-current accelerator. V. P. Dzhelepov determined the main lines of LNP research, including in neutrino physics and medical radiobiology, the structure of the laboratory, its traditions and working atmosphere.
On the eve of the anniversary of this scientist, the DLNP Group of Scientific Communication will share some short stories about the first director of our Laboratory. The texts will be published on the DLNP website on Fridays.
