2018 Lise Meitner Prize for Nuclear Science
The 2018 Lise Meitner Prize has been jointly awarded to
Peter Ring, Technische Universität München, and
Peter Schuck, Institut de Physique Nucléaire d’Orsay and Laboratoire de Physique et de Modélisation des Milieux Condensés Grenoble
for “Their enormous impact on both theoretical and experimental many-body nuclear physics. In particular P.Ring developed new investigations in high-spin phenomena, collective vibrations and relativistic nuclear energy density functionals while P.Schuck introduced new approaches for nuclear matter in connection with nuclear superfluidity and alpha-particle condensation”.
The Lise Meitner Prize is given biennially by the Nuclear Physics Division of the European Physical Society. It is awarded to one or more researchers who have made outstanding contributions to nuclear science. Such contributions may comprise experimental nuclear physics, theoretical nuclear physics and all areas of application of nuclear science.
The prize consists of a Medal and a Diploma, in addition to a cash award. It will be presented during a special session at the 4th European Nuclear Physics Conference of the European Physical Society, which will be held in Bologna, Italy on 2-7 September this year.
The 2018 LM prize is sponsored by :
- GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt
- KVI Centre for Advanced Radiation Technology, Groningen
- Forschungszentrum GmbH, Jülich
- Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, INFN, Catania
- Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, INFN, Legnaro
- Institut de Physique Nucléaire, Orsay
