Biography
The son of film director, organizer of film production and a member of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, Mikhail Yakovlevich Kapchinsky (1889-1981).
In 1942 he graduated from the Physics Department of Moscow State University. In 1943-1958 he worked at the Research Institute for Radar. Since 1958 - head of the department of linear accelerator technology at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics ( ITEP ), in 1991-1993 he was the chief research associate at ITEF.
He developed linear ion accelerators for the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics in Moscow (I-2) and the Institute of High Energy Physics in Protvino (I-100), for which he was awarded the State Prize in 1970. Together with V.V. Vladimirsky, he suggested using the phase distribution of particles, now called the Kapchinsky-Vladimirsky distribution (KV-distribution), for calculating high-current beams. Also, together with V. Vladimirsky and V. A. Teplyakov, he developed a method for focusing a beam by a high-frequency field ( HF quadrupole ) [2] , for which he was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1988.
He was buried at the Don cemetery, later the ashes were transported to Toronto (Canada) [3] .
