Sergei V. Bulanov
Sergei Vladimirovich Bulanov, (Russian: Сергей Владимирович Буланов, English transcription: Sergei Bulanov), (born August 16, 1947) is a Russian plasma physicist.
Bulanov studied at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in the 1960s and began to deal with theoretical astrophysics and plasma physics (for example, plasmas generated by high-power lasers). Bulanow was a student of Sergei Iwanowitsch Syrowatski and Vitaly Ginzburg. He is at the National Institute for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology in Kyoto, Japan and at the Institute for General Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences called A.M. Prokhorov (Институт общей физики имени А. М. Прохорова РАН).
Among other things, he investigated the idea of relativistic mirrors for generating X-rays, whereby the reflection of a laser beam takes place on plasma waves, which are split up by nonlinear interactions and form a thin layer of relativistic electrons.[1][2][3] They are intended to be an alternative to synchrotron radiation sources and free electron lasers. The concept should not only serve for the development of compact radiation sources, but also for basic research in quantum electrodynamics (quantum phenomena in strong electromagnetic fields such as electron-positron pair generation from vacuum). He also worked on particle acceleration using laser plasmas (via radiation pressure).[4][5] He is working on a laser ion accelerator for cancer therapy.[6]
In 2016, he received the Hannes Alfvén Prize with Hartmut Zohm for "their experimental and theoretical contributions to the development of large-scale next-step devices in high-temperature plasma physics research".[7]
