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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
