Памяти Н.П.Зотова

Дирекция НИИЯФ МГУ и руководство ОТФВЭ с глубоким прискорбием извещает, что 22 января 2016 года на 75-ом году жизни безвременно скончался ведущий научный сотрудник Отдела теоретической физики высоких энергий, доктор физико-математических наук Николай Петрович ЗОТОВ.

Вся жизнь Николая Петровича со студенческой скамьи была связана с МГУ имени М.В. Ломоносова. В 1970-ом году после аспирантуры он поступил на работу в НИИЯФ МГУ, где прошёл путь от младшего научного сотрудника до ведущего научного сотрудника. Ему было присвоено почётное звание «Заслуженный научный сотрудник МГУ».

Николай Петрович всецело был предан науке. Областью его интересов всегда была теория сильных взаимодействий элементарных частиц. В рамках квантовой хромодинамики им был развит подход kt-факторизации, который оказался очень успешным при описании различных процессов столкновения частиц при высоких энергиях и получил мировое признание. Его результаты были востребованы ведущими международными коллаборациями на коллайдерах Tevatron, HERA, LHC. Николай Петрович уделял большое внимание работе с аспирантами и молодыми учёными: под его руководством было защищено три кандидатских диссертации.

Светлая память о Николае Петровиче, замечательном учёном и человеке навсегда останется в наших сердцах. Выражаем глубокие соболезнования коллегам, родным и близким Николая Петровича.

Прощание с Н.П. Зотовым состоится в понедельник 25 января от 12:30 в морге Клинической больницы имени С.П. Боткина по адресу: 2-й Боткинский проезд, 5 (ст.м. “Беговая”).
Похороны на Кузьминском кладбище по адресу: ул. Академика Скрябина, стр. 19 (м. “Рязанский проспект”, далее авт. №29, №159).
Поминки - в Столовой №8 МГУ в 17:00.

Dear family, dear colleagues

with great sorrow we have heard from the sudden death of Nikolai Zotov.
We express our sincere condolences to his family and colleagues.

Nikolai Zotov was a scientist, who contributed and formed very much
the scientific program of the experimental collaborations, ZEUS and H1,
at HERA. He made played a very significant role in the whole area
of small x physics to which he contributed until very recently. 
Together with the DESY groups CMS and ATLAS, Nikolai concentrated 
in the last 10 years on the physics program at the LHC, very interesting 
and important publications were released, a very special topic was his
enthusiasm to understand onium production in hadron-hadron and ep collisions.

As a visiting scientist at DESY, Nikolai was present in many discussions 
and seminars. He was a very friendly and nice colleague and it was a great
pleasure to work with him. In the many years Nikolai was visiting and 
collaborating with DESY, many of us became good friends with him.

We will keep Nikolai Zotov in very good memory.

Dear family, dear colleagues

with great sadness have we heard from the sudden and unexpected death
of our friend and colleague Nikolai and we express out sincere condolences to you.

Nikolai was a very nice colleague, who was always interested in new
challenges. I have worked with him for over more than 25 years. He was 
the one who raised my interest in small x physics and kt-factorisation in
the beginning of the HERA times and we started a very intense collaboration
which continued until now. I remember so many, exciting discussions 
with Nikolai, it was a very good collaboration, where many new results 
were produced. And we still had so many plans for new papers.

And during the many years, Nikolai became a very good friend, his
visits to Hamburg were more than just for business, it was always
also seeing a good old friend. It was a very special event, when we visited
in 2006 Moscow, where he, his family and his friends, Irina, Artem and Serguei, 
were guiding us through the city. We will never forget the visit to the Lenin
Mausoleum, where he was waiting well in advance in the queue, it was for
all of us very impressive. When he was in Hamburg we enjoyed very much
seeing him, it was one of his specialities, to always express a toast to anything 
he liked, we will miss him so much.

We will keep Nikolai in our best memory, as a very nice colleague
and a very, very good friend. Nikolai, we'll miss you.

In our thoughts we will be with you

Best 

Hannes & Antje

Dear Dr. Lukina,
as the Head of the Cosenza unit of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica 
Nucleare (INFN - Italy)
and member of the Organizing Committee of the International workshop of 
the series
Diffraction, I want to express, on account of the many friends Nikolai 
had here in our group,
our most sincere condolences to his family.

We will miss a brilliant colleague, one of the most active participants 
to our workshop and, more
importantly, a dear friend.

With warmest regards,
Alessandro Papa
