Biography

Baryshevsky was born on 1 July 1940 in Minsk.

Baryshevsky received a diploma degree in physics from the Belarusian State University (BSU) in 1962. From 1962 to 1965, he pursued his Ph.D. degree study at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna, Moscow Region) and earned his Ph.D. (Candidate of Sciences) degree in 1965 (BSU, Minsk). In 1972 he defended his D.Sc. dissertation at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow). In 1965 he started teaching at the Department of Nuclear Physics of BSU, where he holds positions of assistant professor, associate professor, and from 1977 as a full professor after obtaining State Diploma of full professor of nuclear physics.

In 1986, Baryshevsky established the Research Institute for Nuclear Problems of Belarusian State University (INP) and acted as the general director of this research institute for more than two decades, up to 2012. Currently, he holds the honorary director and principal research scientist positions at INP.

Baryshevsky is a member of the Dissertation Council D 01.05.02. in the B.I.Stepanov Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus and a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Applied Spectroscopy (Minsk).

Baryshevsky is the author of two scientific discoveries registered in the USSR.

Research

Scientific discovery “The phenomenon of nuclear precession of neutrons. “

Formula of the discovery: The earlier unknown phenomenon of neutron nuclear precession was ascertained theoretically. The phenomenon is that when neutrons pass through matter with polarized nuclei, the precession of neutron spins about the nuclei’s polarization direction in matter arises due to nuclear neutron-nucleus interaction. (Authors: V.G. Baryshevsky and M.I. Podgoretsky, the priority number and date: N 244 from April 3, 1964.)

Scientific discovery “The phenomenon of polarization plane rotation of hard gamma-quanta.”

Formula of the discovery: The earlier unknown phenomenon of polarization plane rotation was ascertained for hard gamma-quanta. The phenomenon consists of the fact that when gamma-quanta pass through the medium with polarized electrons, their polarization plane rotates due to the spin-spin interaction of the electrons and photons. (Authors: V.G. Baryshevsky, V.M. Lobashev, V.L. Lyuboshitz, A.P. Serebrov, and A.P. Smotritsky, the priority number and date: N 360, the priority from February 12, 1965, as for theoretical justification and from July 28, 1971 as for experimental proof of the phenomenon. The application for discovery: N 10886 from February 13, 1984. The registration date: December 22, 1988, date of the certificate issue: June 21, 1991.)

Vladimir Baryshevsky pioneered research of the Volume Free Electron Laser — a new type of the Free-electron laser.
