2018 NPD prizes awarded at EuNPC
The Nuclear Physics Division of the European Physical Society awarded its 2018 prizes during the recent European Nuclear Physics Conference, which took place in Bologna (Italy), September 2-7 2018.
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”.
2018 Lise Meitner Prize for Nuclear Science: call for nominations
The board of the Nuclear Physics Division of the European Physical Society (EPS) calls for nominations for the 2018 “Lise Meitner Prize”. The award will be given to one or several individuals for outstanding work in the fields of experimental, theoretical or applied nuclear science. The board welcomes proposals which represent the breadth and strength of European Nuclear Science.

Call for the “Lise Meitner Prize” of the EPS Nuclear Physics Division
The Nuclear Physics Division [NPD] of the EPS supports the advancement and the dissemination of knowledge in nuclear physics. In this respect the NPD regularly awards some of Europe’s most prestigious prizes. Among these is the “Lise Meitner Prize”, named after the famous Austrian physicist who worked on radioactivity and nuclear physics. Nominations are now open for the Lise Meitner Prize in 2016. The prize, awarded to one or several experienced scientists, recognises outstanding work in the fields of experimental, theoretical or applied nuclear science. Particular consideration will be given to scientific activities that represent the core of the nuclear science in Europe.
2014 Lise Meitner Prize for Nuclear Science
The 2014 Lise Meitner Prize has been jointly awarded to Johanna Stachel (University of Heidelberg), Peter Braun-Munzinger (GSI Darmstadt), Paolo Giubellino (University of Torino) and Jürgen Schukraft (CERN) for “their outstanding contributions to the experimental exploration of the quark-gluon plasma using ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, in particular to the design and construction of ALICE and shaping its physics program and scientific results bringing to light unique and unexpected features of…
Lise Meitner Prize for nuclear science awarded
The 2012 Lise Meitner Prize has been jointly awarded to Karlheinz Langanke, of GSI and TU Darmstadt, and Friedrich-Karl Thielemann of the University of Basel, for “their seminal contributions to the description of nuclear processes in astrophysical environments that have changed our modern understanding of stellar evolution, supernovae explosions and nucleosynthesis.”
The Lise Meitner Prize is given biennially by the Nuclear Physics Division…
