Nominations open for Flerov Prize for nuclear physics
Nominations are now open for the 2013 G.N. Flerov Prize. The commendation is to be given to individuals in recognition of outstanding contributions to the field of nuclear physics. The award – which is sponsored by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research [JINR] – was established in 1992 in memory of Georgy Nikolaevich Flerov, the Russian nuclear physicist after whom the 114th chemical element, Flerovium, and the JINR Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions – in which it was discovered – have been named. The prize will be presented on the occasion of Flerov’s 100th birthday anniversary on 2 March 2013.
Nominations – which may be made by distinguished scientists from the fields of low-energy heavy-ion physics, nuclear chemistry and applied nuclear research – should include a CV, research abstract and copies of major contributions, and should be sent to Sergey Sidorchuk sid [at] nrmail [dot] jinr [dot] ru, the Scientific Secretary of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions. The deadline for nominations is 1 February 2013.
