About
Pavel Kirilenko is a leading researcher in astroparticle physics and gamma-ray astronomy, with a focus on developing innovative detection techniques for high-energy cosmic phenomena. His major contributions center on the TAIGA-HiSCORE experiment, where he pioneered methods for detecting fast-moving point sources in the atmosphere. In his most-cited work (2017, 7 citations), Kirilenko achieved the first ground-based observation of the CATS-LIDAR onboard the International Space Station using the TAIGA-HiSCORE facility and the MASTER-Tunka telescope. This breakthrough demonstrated that unscattered laser light from the ISS could be detected at kilometer-scale distances from the beam spot on the ground, opening new avenues for calibrating cosmic-ray detectors and studying atmospheric physics. His work bridges space-based lidar technology with ground-based gamma-ray observatories, showcasing interdisciplinary innovation. Kirilenko’s research has advanced the precision of air-shower measurements and contributed to the broader field of very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. His achievements highlight the potential of combining satellite and terrestrial instruments for next-generation astrophysical studies.
