2019 EPS High Energy and Particle Physics Prizes
The 2019 High Energy and Particle Physics Prize of the EPS for an outstanding contribution to High Energy Physics is awarded to the CDF and D0 Collaborations for the discovery of the top quark and the detailed measurement of its properties.
The 2019 Giuseppe and Vanna Cocconi Prize for an outstanding contribution to Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology is awarded to the WMAP and Planck Collaborations for providing high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization anisotropies, leading to detailed information on properties of the universe and tests of cosmological models and fundamental physics.
The 2019 Young Experimental Physicist Prize of the High Energy and Particle Physics Division of the EPS for outstanding work of early-career physicists in the field of particle physics and/or particle astrophysics is awarded to Josh Bendavid for outstanding and innovative contributions to detector operations, software development, data analysis and detector upgrades of the CMS experiment and to Lesya Shchutska for outstanding contributions to experimental activities in particle physics, from the design and simulation of novel experiments, test-beam operations and analyses, to data analyses and their final theoretical interpretations.
The 2019 Gribov Medal for outstanding work by a young physicist in Theoretical Particle Physics and/or Field Theory is awarded to Douglas Stanford for his pioneering work on quantum chaos and its relation to the near-horizon dynamics of black holes.
The 2019 EPS HEP Outreach Prize is awarded to Rob Appleby, Chris Edmonds and Robyn Watson for the Tactile Collider Project that brings particle physics to blind and visually impaired schoolchildren through touch and sound.
