Alevtina Pavlovna Shmeleva (Template:Lang-ru; 11 June 1928 - 25 April 2022) was a Russian nuclear physicist.
Born in 1928 in Kiev, Alevtina studied at the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages for two years, before she found her dedication within physics and particle detectors at the Moscow Engineering and Physics University, where she graduated in 1954. She joined the Elementary Particles Laboratory in the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute (LPI) under the guidance of academician Artyom Alikhanian, and she started to work with Transition Radiation Detector prototypes, which were rather new at this time and which required pioneering skills.
In 1977 Alevtina and her husband Boris Dolgoshein from MEPhI participated in the International Symposium on Transition Radiation[1] in Erevan, Armenia, where they met William J. Willis, whom they managed to convince about the concept of cluster-counting Transition Radiation Detectors (TRDs), and he invited the LPI-MEPhI group to CERN to realise the idea. Since then, Alevtina collaborated with the particle physics community at CERN. From 1978 – 1988, she coordinated the work of the Lebedev group, building prototype TRDs, testing them at the SPS and delivering the TRD of the HELIOS experiment at the SPS (NA34/1 and NA34/2). As an expert for Transition Radiation Detectors, Alevtina of course joined the challenging ATLAS TRT project at Large Hadron Collider, where she and the Lebedev group[2] started in the very early days of RD6, the preparations of the ATLAS TRT. Alevtina and her team,[3] since then, were pillars of the TRT collaboration.
Alevtina was sensitive to the medical outreach of the fundamental science research, in particular with Vadim Kantzerov (MEPhI) she developed medical gamma locator.[4]
Alevtina had strong linguistic background and physics knowledge, she could easily and efficiently communicate with colleagues,[5] [6] she brought people together and ensured that problems were solved.
