Jigsaw Puzzle : Portrait of Pavel Cerenkov
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Portrait of Pavel Cerenkov
Pavel Cerenkov, Russian physicist, born Voronezh Guberniya on August 10, 1904, photographed (on right) at the controls of a synchrotron at the Institute of Physics of the Soviet Academy of Science, in 1959. His important discovery in 1934 involved the velocity of high-energy subatomic particles, which is never greater than the velocity of light in a vacuum. Light travelling through water, however, moves more slowly: a high- energy particle moving through water may exceed the velocity of light in that medium. When it does it creates a " wake" of light - termed Cerenkov radiation. For this work, Cerenkov, Frank & Tamm shared the 1958 Nobel Prize in physics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed physicist Pavel Cerenkov, known for his groundbreaking discoveries in subatomic particle velocity. Taken in 1959 at the Institute of Physics of the Soviet Academy of Science, Cerenkov is seen confidently seated at the controls of a synchrotron. Born on August 10,1904, in Voronezh Guberniya, Russia, he dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of high-energy particles. Cerenkov's most significant breakthrough came in 1934 when he demonstrated that these subatomic particles cannot surpass the speed of light in a vacuum. However, when they traverse through water or other mediums with slower light propagation speeds than vacuum, an extraordinary phenomenon occurs. These energetic particles create a mesmerizing "wake" composed of light called Cerenkov radiation. For this remarkable contribution to physics and our understanding of particle behavior, Pavel Cerenkov was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics alongside fellow scientists Frank and Tamm in 1958. This prestigious recognition solidified his status as one of history's foremost physicists. In this portrait captured by Science Photo Library, we witness not only a brilliant mind but also a man who has left an indelible mark on scientific knowledge. The intensity emanating from his eyes reflects both determination and curiosity—a testament to his relentless pursuit of truth within the realm of physics.
