Lev Borisovich Pikelner
09.11.1924 – 22.09.2020
We deeply regret to announce that Lev Borisovich Pikelner passed away on 23 September 2020. L. B. Pikelner was an outstanding Soviet and Russian experimental physicist, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor, Honorary Doctor of JINR, and a recognized science organizer in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics.
Lev Borisovich successfully combined creativity and meticulousness with his ability to unite young colleagues to solve the most challenging, on the verge of feasibility, tasks and achieve results. Demanding and self-critical assessment of acquired results, their quality and novelty earned him well-deserved respect and recognition among the world scientific community.
A loving father and grandfather, a family man, a man with an active attitude to life. Lev Borisovich has always been and will always remain a role model for people who knew and loved him.

Condolences from Vietnam
Dear colleagues,
It is my deep regret to hear Lev Borisovich passed away. He was one of my loved teachers in FLNP for my early scientific career from 1979 to 1984. For that time, under his leadership the department of Nuclear physics has made tremendous scientific research. In particular, I have a great honor to join him as co-authors of the discovery of giant enhancements of the P-violation effect in neutron resonances, of which I am proud as a FLNP staff member.
I am not the only Vietnamese graduating from the FLNP school, but many colleagues from Vietnam are obligated toward their Dubna scientific lives under Lev Borisovich’s kindest care.
Please, accept my sincerest condolences to Lev Borisovich’s family and to FLNP staff for this great loss.
Lev Borisovich’s deep memory will be in the heart of mine and of other his Vietnamese colleagues.
With my kindest regards,
Thuan (Vo Van)
Former director, Hanoi Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology (INST)
Senior researcher (Emeritus), Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute (VINATOM)
Senior researcher, Duy Tan University (DTU)
