POMERANCHUK, ISAAK YAKQVLEVICH (Physicist) 



I. Ya. Pomeranchuk was born May 20, 1913. He graduated 

 from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute in 1936 and then 

 worked in departments of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. 

 In 1946 he became professor at Moscow Physical Engineering- 

 Physical Institute. Since 1953 he has been a Corresponding 

 Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He is a recipient 

 of a Stalin Prize. 



The works of Pomeranchuk deal with theoretical physics of 

 low temperatures, theory of radiation, nuclear physics, and 

 cosmic rays. He obtained important results in the theory of 

 heat conductivity of dielectrics and the theory of neutron scat- 

 tering in crystals. Pomeranchuk in 1939 showed that the radi- 

 ation of electrons in the earth's magnetic field limited the 

 possible energy of the electrons of cosmic rays reaching the 

 atmosphere. He also worked on the theory of collisions and 

 radiation at high energies.
