I. I. Strakovsky

Prof. Strakovsky is an experimentalist in fundamental nuclear and particle physics. He received a doctoral degree from the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI) in 1984 and worked as a research scientist at PNPI before joining the Physics Department at Virginia Tech in 1992 and then the Physics Department at The George Washington University in 1997. He has been a full research professor there since 2009. He was and is a visiting researcher at TRIUMF, Canada; MAX-lab, Sweden; Jülich FZ and Mainz U., Germany; BNL and JLab, USA. Since 2022, he is Honorary Research Fellow of the School of Physics and Astronomy of Glasgow University, UK.His research is hadronic and electromagnetic physics and nuclear structure. Now his main experimental focus is on Jefferson Lab and the future EIC at BNL. In particular, the recent JLab PAC48 gave us 200 days of the beam for the KLF project for JLab Hall D [arXiv:2008.08215 [nucl-ex]]. The KLF project [https://wiki.jlab.org/klproject/index.php/Main_Page] has firmly to set up neutral kaon beamline with flux of three order of magnitude higher than SLAC had for scattering experiments on both proton and “neutron“ (first time) targets. We will determine differential cross sections and self-polarization of hyperons with GlueX detector to enable precise PWA in order to determine all resonances up to 2500 MeV in spectra of , , , and . KLF has a link to understand formation of our world in several microseconds after the Big Bang. We intend to do strange meson spectroscopy by studing of -K interaction to locate the pole positions in I = 1/2 and 3/2 channels.
