Introduction

Ukraine’s declaration of independence in 1991 made it possible for Ukrainian researchers and cultural figures to conduct their own investigations and to reconsider the history of Ukraine and Ukrainians, despite the powerful influence inherited from previous regimes.
The authorities of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union systematically provided a policy aimed at eroding the local...

Introduction

Concentrating on the KGB archival files, this paper analyses technological and industrial espionage of the KGB, which targeted mainly the American and Western European science and technology, providing the Ukrainian scientific centers and factories with the stolen “innovations” from America. The KGB used academic exchanges as a tool for technological espionage.

Institutions, ideas, people

Vasyl’ Karazin (1773–1842) is best known as the founder of Kharkiv University (1804), one of the oldest universities in Eastern Europe. At the same time, he became the first Ukrainian polymath, and many of his ideas remain resonant with the global trends of the modern world. Vasyl’ Karazin is considered the first Ukrainian physicist. He was not directly involved in the study of particle...

3. NSC KIPT in experimental particle physics: from 2 GeV electron Linac to CMS experiment at LHC

Institutions, ideas, people

In 1965, the electron linear accelerator (Linac) with the beam energy of up to 2 GeV was put into operation at the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology (KIPT), thus becoming the largest electron accelerator in Europe at the time. Among the initiators of construction of the facility was Anton K. Valter (1905 – 1965), whereas Pavel V. Sorokin (1930 – 2017) headed the research program on...

I will review directions of theoretical studies of physicists from NSC Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology during the past 10-15 years. Relation of these studies to experimental programs at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and electron-positron colliders (KEKB, BEPC II) will be discussed. One of the main objectives of these studies is the search for effects of CP-symmetry...

D.V. Volkov in CERN

2025 marked the 100th anniversary of Dmitry Vasilyevich Volkov, one of Ukraine's outstanding theoretical physicists who laid the foundations of modern high-energy/particle physics. Volkov was one of the few Soviet/Ukrainian scientists who gained international recognition early in his scientific career. Therefore, it is no coincidence that he was invited to join...

Gleb Wataghin arrived in Brazil in 1934 with the mission of establishing a Physics Department at the newly founded University of São Paulo. He found no building, no laboratory, no equipment, and no colleagues, and had to start from scratch. Drawing on his experience, deep knowledge, extraordinary energy, enthusiasm, and diplomatic skills, he succeeded in training a generation of physicists...

Institutions, ideas, people

The collaboration between ISMA and CERN began in the early 1990s when ISMA (then part of the Institute for Single Crystals), played a pioneering role in the development of lead tungstate (PbWO4), a scintillator implemented in detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Works by L. Nagornaya and co-authors demonstrated the feasibility of achieving an extremely fast scintillation response and...
