Andrzej Kajetan Wróblewski

He specializes in elementary particle physics (high energy physics) i.e. Soft Hadron Physics (1990), New AMY and DELPHI multiplicity data and the log-normal distribution (with co-authors; 1990), Genesis of the lognormal multiplicity distribution in the e² e²- collisions and other stochastic processes (with co-authors; 1990), Mystery of the negative binomial distribution (with co-authors; 1987), Constraints on multiplicity distribution of quark pairs (1985).

GiNaC

It is equipped to handle certain non-commutative algebras which are extensively used in theoretical high energy physics: Clifford algebras, SU(3) Lie algebras, and Lorentz tensors.

At the time, networks prevalent in the Brazilian academic setting were the BITNET ("Because It's Time NETwork"), the HEPnet ("High Energy Physics Network") and the UUCP ("Unix-to-Unix Copy Program").

Automatic calculation of particle interaction or decay

Such codes have evolved quite a lot with applications not only optimized for high-energy physics like FORM but also more general purpose programs like Mathematica and Maple.

Boris Grinyov

The scientific activities of Boris Grinyov center on the study of the fundamental properties of scintillation materials: searching for new scintillators, and developing instruments and devices based on scintillators for applications in various fields ranging from high energy physics (the BaBar, Belle and Alice experiments and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, among others) to medical devices.
