The American Physical Society will recognize the achievements of 17 individuals at its annual April meeting, scheduled for 1 to 4 May in Denver, Colorado.
The Hans A. Bethe Prize will go this year to Wick Haxton, professor of physics and director of the Institute for Nuclear Theory at the University of Washington. Haxton is being honored for his “noteworthy contributions and scientific leadership in the field of neutrino astrophysics, in particular for his success in merging nuclear theory with experiments and observations in nuclear physics and astrophysics.”
George F. Bertsch will take home the Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics for his “many varied contributions to nuclear structure and reaction theory, which have guided and illuminated experiments for four decades.” Bertsch is a professor of physics and a senior fellow at the Institute for Nuclear Theory at the University of Washington.
