Fadin is an expert in
quantum field theory (QFT) and an author of more than 190 academic papers including 2 monographs, which have collected over 12 000 citations. In 2001 he received The
Humboldt Prize in physics and in 2006 he was given the Russian Federation honorific title "Заслуженный работник высшей школы Российской Федерации". In 2015 Victor Fadin was awarded the
Pomeranchuk Prize "for his results devoted to high energy processes in QED and QCD". He shared the 2015 prize with professor
Stanley J. Brodsky. He was one of the first to theoretically study a number of
QED processes observed at the pioneering colliders VEP-1 and VEPP-2 in
Novosibirsk. He worked out the structure function method for calculation of
QED radiative corrections to
cross sections of electron-positron
annihilation and electron-nucleus
scattering processes. Moreover, he developed the method of quasi-real particles, which was the first step to the
parton picture in QFT. Professor Fadin's main contributions to
QCD comprise the description of the coherence effects in the soft gluon emission and the study of the energy behavior of amplitudes in the
Regge limit. The latter lead him to the development of Reggeization theory and the formulation of the Balitsky–Kuraev–Fadin–Lipatov (BFKL) evolution equation for high-energy amplitudes (named after Ian Balitsky,
Eduard A. Kuraev, Fadin and
Lev Lipatov). The BFKL equation predicted the rise of QCD cross sections as the colliding energy increases, which was later observed at
HERA collider. This success established the BFKL approach as the basis of the modern theory of semi-hard processes in QCD. In recent years V. S. Fadin with his colleagues developed the BFKL approach in the next to leading logarithm approximation. Among his other achievements is the investigation of Coulomb effects in W+W- production. == Awards ==
