Markov prize winners of 2007:

On the 5th of April, 2007 the Scientific Council of the Institute for Nuclear Research of RAS unanimously awarded Markov prize of 2007 to three scientists: Alexeev Evgeny Nikolaevich (INR, Moscow, Russia), Ryazhskaya Olga Georgievna (INR, Moscow, Russia) and Oscar Saavedra (Turin University, Italy) for development of methods, creation of experimental facilities, detection of the neutrino signals from the collapse of massive star SN1987A and for outstanding contribution into the development of basic studies in the field of "underground neutrino physics".

(INR, Moscow, Russia)

Doctor of Ph.-Maths, Leading scientific worker of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory of INR RAS

Alexeev E.N.is a world wide specialist in the field of cosmic rays physics, neutrino astrophysics and elementary particle physics. With his active participation such large research installations as Kovyor (Carpet)and Baksan underground scintillation telescope have been built and put into operation. For many years he has been the head of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory and contributed much to development of its unique installations and facilities. His scientific co-workers and he obtained the unique data on search for superheavy magnetic monopole and neutrino from the stars collapse in our Galaxy. He is one of the organizers of the famous international school "Particles and cosmology" which is regularly held on the basis of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory for many years.

Ryazhskaya Olga Georgievna
Ryazhskaya Olga Georgievna
(INR, Moscow, Russia)

corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, head of the laboratory of Electronic methods of neutrino detection.

Ryazhskaya O.G. is a distinguished specialist in the field of experimental nuclear physics, cosmic rays physics and neutrino astrophysics. She has elaborated and experimentally confirmed the theory of generation of nuclear active component of cosmic rays underground by means of large-volume scintillation detectors. She is one of those who developed a liquid highly transparent scintillator for large nuclear physics installations. She supervised and participated in creation of unique underground detectors: COLLAPSE, the city of Artyomovsk; LSD, Montblan and LVD, Gran Sasso , which were used for studying a cosmic rays penetrating component and search for neutrino emission from the stars gravitational collapse. Being an active participant of Russian-Italian international collaboration she has been the head of LVD collaboration from the Russian side.

Oscar Saavedra
Oscar Saavedra
(Professor of the Turin University, Italy)

Oscar Saavedra is an outstanding specialist in the field of cosmic rays physics and neutrino astrophysics, an active participant of Russian-Italian international collaboration, one of the initiators of the creation of a unique underground detector LSD near Montblan. With his active participation this detector as well as the neutrino detector LVD in Gran Sasso have been built and put into operation. He made a great contribution into analysis and interpretation of the signals registered with the LSD detector during the Supernova SN1987A flash. Oscar Saavedra is one of the supervisors and active participants of a wide research program in the field of the underground physics and search for neutrino emission from the gravitational collapse of stars on installations LSD and LVD.
