  • Joseph Carlson (Los Alamos National Laboratory) Awarded Feshbach Prize

    Joseph Carlson

    The Feshbach Prize in Theoretical Nuclear Physics was established in 2014 by the American Physical Society (APS) “To recognize and encourage outstanding research in theoretical nuclear physics.”  The Prize commemorates Herman Feshbach, who was a renowned Professor of Theoretical Nuclear Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for over 50 years, and served as Department Chair and Director of the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics.  The Feshbach Prize is supported by the APS Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP), and by the Feshbach family and friends.

    The recipient of the 2017 Feshbach Prize is Dr. Joseph Carlson of Los Alamos National Laboratory.  According to the APS announcement, Professor Carlson is being acknowledged

    "For pioneering the development of quantum Monte Carlo techniques to solve key problems in nuclear structure physics, cold atom physics, and dense matter theory of relevance to neutron stars."

    Dr. Carlson’s research is supported by the DOE’s Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics (NP).

  • 2017 Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics Recipient

    Charles F. Perdrisat

    The Bonner prize was established by the American Physical Society (APS) to recognize and encourage outstanding research in nuclear physics, including the development of a method, technique, or device that significantly contributes in a general way to nuclear physics research.  The prize was endowed in 1964 as a memorial to Tom W. Bonner by his friends, students and associates.

    The recipient of the 2017 Bonner Prize is Charles F. Perdrisat of College of William and Mary according to the APS announcement is being acknowledged.

    "For groundbreaking measurements of nucleon structure, and discovering the unexpected behavior of the magnetic and electric nucleon form factors with changing momentum transfer."

    The recipient of the 2016 Feshbach Prize is Professor Xiangdong Ji of the University of Maryland.  According to the APS announcement, Professor Ji is being acknowledged

    For pioneering work in developing tools to characterize the structure of the nucleon within QCD and for showing how its properties can be probed through experiments; this work not only illuminates the nucleon theoretically but also acts as a driver of experimental programs worldwide.

    Professor Ji’s research is supported by the DOE’s Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics (NP).
