A joint scientific session of the Physical Sciences Division of
the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and Research
Council of the P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS
honoring the 90th birthday of Academician V L Ginzburg
was held in the Conference Hall of the P N Lebedev Physical
Institute, RAS on 4 October 2006. The following reports were
presented at the session:
(1) Gurevich A V (P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS,
Moscow) ’Nonlinear effects in the ionosphere’;
(2) Kardashev N S (P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS,
Moscow) ’The radio Universe’;
(3) Ptuskin V S (Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism,
Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation, RAS, Troitsk,
Moscow region) ’On the origin of galactic cosmic rays’;
(4) Maksimov E G (P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS,
Moscow) ’What is known and what is unknown about
HTSCs’;
(5) Belyavsky V I, Kopaev Yu V (P N Lebedev Physical
Institute, RAS, Moscow) ’Ginzburg-Landau equations for
high-temperature superconductors’;
(6) Tsytovich V N (A M Prokhorov Institute of General
Physics, RAS, Moscow) ’Polarization effects in a medium:
from Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation and transition radiation to dust-particle pairing, or the development of one of V L Ginzburg’s ideas from 1940 to 2006′.
Extended reports Nos 1 and 4 in the form of reviews will
be published in subsequent issues of Physics-Uspekhi. An
abridge version of the other four papers is given below.
