Dunaytsev, Anatoly Fedorovich

Anatoly Fedorovich Dunaytsev was born in the ancient village of Begoshcha of the Krupetskiy district (in the former time of the Rylsky district) of the Kursk region in the family of Fedor Nikolaevich Dunaytsev (1897 - 1974). When his son Anatoly was about four years old, his father Fyodor Nikolaevich Dunaytsev moved his family to the village of Afrikanovka in the Barvenkovsky district of Kharkov region, where he got a job at the Sotsnapade state farm. Here, in 1948, Anatoly graduated with honors from an eight-year school, with a delay - due to the period of German occupation, in which in 1941-44. turned out to be Ukraine and the village of Afrikanovka. To complete the course of a full high school, he moves to the parents of his mother Antonina Yakovlevna (nee Polunina) in the city of Krupets (8 km from the native village of Begoshcha). Graduates from school with a silver medal in 1950 and enters the Moscow Mechanical Institute (later - Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, MEPhI, NRNU MEPhI) at the Faculty of Instrument Engineering. In 1955, he completed his thesis, and since 1956, after graduating from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute , he began to work continuously in the city of Dubna, Moscow Region , at the JINR Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, where together with Yuri Dmitrievich Prokoshkin (Doctor of Physics and Mathematics in 1961 .), was engaged in research in the field of particle physics and developed equipment for their registration. This series of works allowed conducting pioneering research on beta decay of particles, for which in 1965 Anatoly Fedorovich and his colleagues were awarded the I.V. Kurchatov Gold Medal .

In 1964, among a group of young but already experienced physicists, he was invited to Protvino as one of the leaders in the scientific divisions of the newly created Serpukhov 70 GeV proton accelerator, the largest in the world at that time.

He supervised and took part in the works:

• the creation of the first domestic modular nanosecond logic system of electronics, which was used in the first experiments on the accelerator;
• work to create a system of unified modules for multichannel analysis using microprocessors and computers for accelerators and experimental plants;
• Creation of one of the world's largest centers for processing film information at IHEP. This work was awarded the Prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

He conducted a lot of work on the organization of serial production of electronic equipment, devices and computers for the accelerator-storage complex being created.

Author of 202 scientific publications, two discoveries: 1975 (priority in terms of experimental confirmation of 04/12/1962) "The law of conservation of the vector current of hadrons in weak interactions of elementary particles" (together with Ya. B. Zel'dovich, V. I. Petrukhin , Yu. D. Prokoshkin , V. I. Rykalin , S. S. Gershtein) and 1977 (priority in terms of experimental confirmation of 04.04.1962) “Phenomena of capture of negatively charged ions by chemically bound hydrogen nuclei” (together with V. I. Petrukhin, L. I. Ponomarev, Yu. D. Prokoshkin , V. I. Rykalin , S. S. G yerstein).

Under his leadership, ten doctoral and four doctoral dissertations were defended.

• JINR Prize (1964) - for a series of works on the experimental detection of the beta decay process of a pion and determining the probability of this decay
• Gold medal named after I.V. Kurchatov (for 1965, together with Yu. D. Prokoshkin , V.I. Petrukhin , V.I. Rykalin ) - for a series of works on the experimental study of beta decay of particles
