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”.
