Kolomensky, Andrei Alexandrovich

The future physicist was born in the family of civil servant Alexander Vasilievich Kolomensky and teacher Ksenia Nikolaevna Kolomenskaya in Krasnodar on July 12, 1920 .

In 1931 he moved to Moscow with his family. In 1938, after graduating from secondary school No. 110, he entered the Physics Department of Moscow State University named after MV Lomonosov , where he studied until November 1941 . Then he studied at the Gorky State University at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, which he graduated in the summer of 1942 .

After graduation, he volunteered to go to the front and until the end of World War II he served in rifle units on the Voronezh , 1st , 2nd , 3rd Ukrainian fronts . Was wounded three times; For completing combat missions he was awarded three orders ( Order of the Red Star , World War 1 and 2 degrees ) and eight medals. In 1944 he was admitted to the CPSU .

In June 1946, he was demobilized and sent to the Department of "Structure of Matter" of the Physics Department of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov for retraining, which took place until April 1947. After graduation, he was sent to work at the Physics Institute. P.N. Lebedeva (Lebedev Physical Institute ), where he worked first as a junior researcher, since 1951 - as a senior researcher, since 1959 - as the head of the sector, and since 1968 - as the head of the Laboratory of Problems of New Accelerators (Laboratory of Problems of New Accelerators).

Since 1949, he simultaneously conducted pedagogical work at the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University. MV Lomonosov , since 1959 - as a professor , since 1961 - as the head of the Department of Nuclear Interactions and Accelerators (Department of Nuclear Interactions and Accelerators).

Main research interests: physics and technology of accelerators , plasma physics , electrodynamics , generation and physics of particle beams and short-wave radiation, new methods of particle acceleration of high-power electron and ion beams.

Kolomensky is known as the author of new principles of particle acceleration and fundamental work on the theory of periodic magnetic systems, on the theory of microtrons , on the dynamics of radiating and interacting particles. He took part in the development, design, creation and launch of a number of high-energy accelerators, starting with the first Soviet synchrotron , as well as a number of powerful direct-acting pulse accelerators. The radiation effects discovered and studied by him underlie the operation of electron synchrotrons and storage rings in the colliding beam method. According to his ideas and under his leadership, a large installation was created in which for the first time it was possible to combine the functions of an accelerator and an electron storage ring. He also predicted and investigated a number of collective effects in the dynamics of charged beams: the effect of negative mass, resistive instability, autoresonance of a wave and particles.
