Arseny Alexandrovich Sokolov was a Russian theoretical physicist known for the development of synchrotron radiation theory.
Education
Arseny Sokolov graduated from Tomsk State University (TSU) in 1931. He obtained the degree of Kandidat nauk (Candidat of Science, equivalent to Doctor of Philosophy) from TSU under supervision of Piotr Tartakovsky (1934). The degree of Doktor nauk (Doctor of Science) was obtained by him from Leningrad Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute (1942, at that time in evacuation in Kazan).
Career
Then he moved to Moscow State University (Moscow State University), where he held the positions of the dean of the Faculty of Physics (1948—1954) and the head of the Theoretical Physics Department at the Faculty of Physics (1966—1982). Arseny Sokolov research areas were quantum field theory and elementary particle physics. Together with Dmitri Ivanenko he worked on the development of the synchrotron radiation theory.
His collaboration with Dmitry Ivanenko continued for almost 50 years.
Together with Igor Ternov he discovered new quantum effects in microscopic particle motion such as Quantum Fluctuations of Electron Trajectories in Accelerators and the Effect of Radiative Polarization of Electrons and Positrons in a Magnetic Field known as Sokolov–Ternov effect.
