The Scientific Counsil of the Intitute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences awarded Markov Prize in 2010 for great contribution to theoretical and experimental investigations in the field of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics and neutrino astrophysics to Veniamin BEREZINSKY, a Leading Researcher of INR RAS and LNGS INFN (Italy), for outstanding contribution to Cosmic Ray Physics and Development of the Theory of Cosmogenic Neutrinos at Ultra High Energies

Veniamin BEREZINSKY Veniamin Berezinsky from INFN, Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy) and Institute for Nuclear Research (Russia) is awarded the Markov prize 2010 for "outstanding contribution to physics of cosmic rays and development of the theory of cosmogenic neutrinos at ultra high energies". His best-known papers include the first proposal of cosmogenic neutrinos (together with G.T. Zatsepin in 1968) with calculations of their fluxes, and proposal of pair-production dip model for Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (with S.I.Grigorieva in 1988 and with A.Z.Gazizov and S.I. Grigorieva in 2006). He has Alexander von Humboldt Award (1990) and O'Ceallaigh medal by IUPAP (2007).
