Karel Šafařík (1953–2024)
Karel Šafařík(1953 – 2024) — Our dear colleague and friend, Karel Šafařík, sadly passed away on Monday 7 October. Karel graduated in theoretical physics in Bratislava in 1976, and worked at JINR in Dubna for more than 11 years, participating in experiments on the phenomenology of particle production at high energies at Dubna and at
