  • 2021 Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics Recipient

  • Professor Geoffrey L. Greene

    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 2021 Bonner Prize is Professor Geoffrey L. Greene. According to the APS announcement is being acknowledged

    "For foundational work establishing the field of fundamental neutron physics in the US, for developing experimental techniques for in-beam measurements of the neutron lifetime and other experiments, and for realizing a facility for the next generation of fundamental neutron physics measurements."

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

  • 2021 Feshbach Prize in Theoretical Nuclear Physics

  • Professor Berndt Mueller

    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 2021 Feshbach Prize is Professor Berndt Mueller Duke University; Brookhaven National Laboratory. According to the APS announcement is being acknowledged

    "For seminal theoretical contributions to the identification of quark-gluon plasma signatures, focused on predictions of hadronic observables of the partonic state that inform the understanding of thermalization, fluctuations, flow observables, and hadronic spectra."

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