N. V. Fedorenko
(1910-1972)
Nikolai Vasilievich Fedorenko, a member of the Organizing Committee for this
Third International Conference on Atomic Physics, passed away in Leningrad on
February 2, 1972. A distinguished physicist, well known for his pioneering work
in heavy particle collisions, Fedorenko was also a leader on behalf of international
cooperation in science. His participation on the Organizing Committee for this
conference was but one of many similar roles he has filled in connection with
international conferences and organizations over a period of more than a decade.
He is remembered, as well, as a kind and gentle man, quietly dedicated, who
shared a fundamental optimism about the future of society and the contribution
that we in this field of science might make toward that future.
