World Scientific Publishing Company From The Past To The Future: The Legacy Of Lev Lipatov

This book has been designed to honor Lev Nikolaevich Lipatov, as a person and as one of the leading scientists in theoretical high energy physics.The book begins with three articles on Lev as a person, written endearingly by family members, a very close friend and Physics professor, Eugene Levin, and another outstanding scientist, Alfred Mueller. The book further collects 18 articles by several scientists who closely knew and/or collaborated with Lev.With an overarching range over various subfields, the book summarizes parts of Lev's achievements, presents new results which are based upon Lev's work, and paints an outlook on possible future developments. Lev's theoretical work has had an influential impact on phenomenology and experimental high energy physics; befittingly, this collection also includes several articles on these experimental aspects. Review "The book reports the achievements of a giant of QCD, who has inspired many theoretical achievements and experimental investigations, at the smallest scale in parton momenta. The short reviews by many authors span more than fifty years of science and make the book lively and interesting for both theorists and experimentalists. The insights in his life from his colleagues, friends and family complete the portrait of a great personality. The birth of the BFKL and DGLAP equations is described in an exciting way and the memory and heritage of Lev Lipatov will stay beyond the L in these equations." --Prof Elisabetta Gallo, University of Hamburg & DESY
