Prize named after Academician M.A. Markov 2023 On March 3, 2023, the Scientific Council of the INR RAS decided to award the INR RAS Prize named after Academician M.A. Markov "For the development of astrophysical methods for studying models of elementary particle physics and obtaining, on this basis, restrictions on hypothetical particles and new interactions"
TROITSKY Sergei Vadimovich - member RAS, Professor of the RAS, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Chief Researcher. INR RAS Internationally recognized specialist in the field of theoretical physics and astrophysics of elementary particles. He discovered correlations between the directions of arrival of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and the positions of cosmologically distant active galaxies of a certain class, which cannot be explained within the framework of the Standard Model of particle physics. He proposed an explanation for this effect in terms of a new light pseudoscalar particle mixing with a photon. Within the framework of this model, he proposed an explanation for the anomalous transparency of the Universe for high-energy gamma radiation, as well as for the observed gamma radiation in the TeV range from the gamma-ray burst GRB 221009A. Created a new method for studying the composition of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. With its help, he obtained restrictions on the fluxes of cosmic gamma radiation with energies from 1015 to 1020 eV based on data from various experiments, including the most stringent restrictions on such a flux. Developed a new scientific program for the Carpet experiment at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory of the INR RAS. Formulated the concept of a new generation axion helioscope in Troitsk TASTE, which became the basis of the Baby-IAXO experiment.
TINYAKOV Petr Gennadievich - Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor at the Free University of Brussels. A theoretical physicist whose results determined the development of a number of new directions in particle physics and astrophysics. Investigated the observational implications of massive gravity models. He was the first to propose considering a massive graviton as a candidate for the role of dark matter. Showed that compact astronomical objects can be destroyed as a result of their capture of dark matter. From the existence of populations of white dwarfs and neutron stars, as well as ordinary stars in dwarf galaxies, he derived the most stringent constraints on the abundance of primordial black holes and models of weakly interacting massive dark matter particles. Based on measurements of Faraday rotation measures of radiation from distant radio sources, he constructed a model of the Galactic magnetic field that is widely used today. Obtained the most stringent upper bounds to date on the strength of large-scale extragalactic magnetic fields.
