	Bruno Pontecorvo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bruno Pontecorvo (August 22, 1913 - September 24, 1993) was an Italian atomic physicist, an early assistant of Enrico Fermi and then the author of numerous studies in high energy physics, especially on neutrinos.
		Pontecorvo was born in Pisa into a wealthy non-observant Italian Jewish family.
		Pontecorvo was unable to return to Italy because of the fascist regime's racial discrimination against the Jews.

	I.G. Pokrovskaya about Bruno Pontecorvo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Bruno Maximovich told us how, as a child, he overheard his parents discussing the virtues of their children: the most limited; has kind eyes, but not intelligent.
		Bruno Maximovich was very modest, and the little in which he permitted himself to take pride (and even then silently!) included a muscule on his right arm - the result of his great love for tennis in his youth.
		Here Bruno Maximovich bent over the handlebar and started groaning and pushing the pedals with difficulty, tilting the bicycle to one side and to another, wiping his forehead with his handkerchief, thus clearly showing that his "luggage" was too heavy.

	S.S. Gershtein about Bruno Pontecorvo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It was precisely Pontecorvo who in 1946, when the first information on the relatively long lifetime of muons in matter was obtained, put forward the hypothesis of the universal character of weak interactions, of a new force in Nature, the only manifestation of which was hitherto represented by radiactive b-decay.
		Precisely Bruno happened to be the father of experimental neutrino physics, having raised in 1946 the issue of the possible registration of neutrino from nuclear reactors and having elaborated for this purpose the radiochemical (in particular, the so-called chlorine-argon) method for detecting nuclear reactions induced by neutrinos.
		Pontecorvo exerted an invaluable influence on the level of studies in elementary particle physics in our country, having established very high criteria, which had to be satisfied in some way or another, he educated a large school of experimental physicists and stimulated many theoretical investigations.

		Gillo Pontecorvo (November 19 1919 – October 12 2006) was an Italian filmmaker, best known for La battaglia di Algeri (The Battle of Algiers) although he directed several movies before its release in 1966, such as the drama KapÃ² (1960), which takes place in a World War II concentration camp.
		Pontecorvo was born in Pisa, the son of a wealthy Jewish businessman.
		Pontecorvo continued his series of highly political films with Ogro (1979), which addresses the occurrence of terrorism at the end of Francisco Franco's dwindling regime in Spain.

		Gillo Pontecorvo, the Italian-born director of ``The Battle of Algiers,'' a fictionalized account of a guerrilla struggle against French rule that set a bold standard in political filmmaking, died Thursday at a hospital in Rome.
		Pontecorvo's film was a direct confrontation of French imperialism, which had only been touched on in earlier works, including Jean-Luc Goddard's ``Le Petit Soldat.'' ``The Battle of Algiers'' was banned in France for five years even though it won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival.
		Pontecorvo was forced into using color footage and the glamorous Italian film star Alida Valli as a fisherman's wife.

		In Moscow Bruno Pontecorvo was presented with a five-room flat with all modern conveniences in a house on Gorky str.
		In 1957 Bruno Pontecorvo presented a short report at a seminar in which he spoke of his new idea concerning the possibility for one type of neutrinos transforming into another by analogy with the oscillations of neutral kaons.
		Owing to the enthusiasm of Bruno and of the staff of the laboratory who worked with him, the works of Fermi were translated in 1971 and published in the Russian language in 2 volumes of the series "Classics of science" together with a very good introductory article and comments written by Bruno.

		Dubna myths feed on the memory of Bruno Pontecorvo's flamboyance: he is said to have delivered April Fool's Day lectures and to have ridden his horse through Dubna at midnight wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
		Tito Pontecorvo started out as a scientist in oceanology and spent most of his time at sea - but as the son of foreigners, he was not considered reliable enough to disembark in foreign lands.
		Pontecorvo's plan now is to use his natural charm, native English, and Canadian citizenship to popularize the Akhal-Teke in North America, "so that American snobs start saying to one another, 'What, you still have not bought an Akhal-Teke?'" For now, though, he has sold off most of the farm equipment.

	Gillo Pontecorvo; political filmmaker explored terrorism \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Gillo Pontecorvo, the Italian-born director of the 1966 classic “The Battle of Algiers,” a fictionalized account of a guerrilla struggle against French rule that set a bold standard for political filmmakers, died Oct. 12 at a hospital in Rome.
		Pontecorvo is best remembered for his influential film from 1966, “The Battle of Algiers.” Made almost entirely with nonprofessional actors – some of whom were guerrilla fighters – the film's jittery, handheld cameras that race around the Casbah gave viewers a jarring and intimate sense of reality.
		Pontecorvo's final feature was 1980's “Ogro,” about terrorists in Spain during the final years of Franco's fascist regime, but he continued to make documentaries, shorts and television commercials.

		This confirms the hypothesis of Pontecorvo and Vladimir Gribov that the neutrino-flavour change is responsible for the deficit of solar neutrinos observed in other experiments, thereby solving the long-standing "solar-neutrino problem".
		A special seminar "The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory: confirming Pontecorvo's neutrino theories" was held at the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems where Pontecorvo worked from 1950 until the end of his life.
		The seminar was devoted both to the latest results obtained by SNO and the future neutrino investigations at the SNOLAB underground laboratory; Pontecorvo's role in the development of massive neutrino physics and oscillation theory as a founder of this field of research was also discussed.

	Fusion
		As early as 1969, two scientists working in Russia, Bruno Pontecorvo and Vladimir Gribov, proposed that the discrepancy between standard theory and the first solar neutrino experiment could be due to an inadequacy in the textbook description of particle physics, rather than in the standard solar model.
		(Incidentally, Pontecorvo was the first person to propose using a chlorine detector to study neutrinos.) Gribov and Pontecorvo suggested that neutrinos suffer from a multiple personality disorder, that they oscillate back and forth between different states or types.
		According to the suggestion of Gribov and Pontecorvo, neutrinos are produced in the sun in a mixture of individual states, a sort of split personality.
