2023年2月2日 · In 1978, a proton beam passed through soviet physicist Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski after he stuck his head inside a particle accelerator. He didn't experience pain, so was unaware of the accident until hours later when his face began to …

2014年12月22日 · TIL in 1978, a Russian physicist, Anatoli Bugorski, was struck accidentally by the proton beam of a particle accelerator. 1/2 of his face swelled beyond recognition and became paralysed. Amazingly, he survived and completed his PhD. He is still alive today.

2018年9月28日 · Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski continues to be a Russian scientist, in spite of being involved in an accident with a particle accelerator in 1978. As a researcher at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, Bugorski used to work with the largest Soviet particle accelerator, the Synchrotron U-70.

2015年2月14日 · As it was believed that he had received far in excess of a fatal dose of radiation, Bugorski was taken to a clinic in Moscow where the doctors could observe his expected demiseHowever, Bugorski survived and even completed his Ph.D. There was virtually no damage to his intellectual capacity, but the fatigue of mental work increased markedly

2022年7月14日 · Bugorski's proton beam had 76 GeV (1000x more energy). (sources: wikipedia which I can't be bothered to link) The Bragg peak (dumping of energy in the last bit of the proton path) distance seems more than linear with proton energy (page 5), so, yeah, Bragg peak was outside his head.

2020年11月16日 · In 1978, a Soviet scientist named Anatoli Bugorski stuck his head in a particle accelerator that sent a beam of protons traveling at nearly the speed of light straight through his head. He survived with half his face paralyzed & deafness in one …

2016年5月15日 · Bugorski completely lost hearing in the left ear and only a constant, unpleasant internal noise remained. The left half of his face was paralyzed due to the destruction of nerves.[1] He was able to function well, except for the fact that he had occasional complex partial seizures and rare tonic-clonic seizures.
