APS

Chandrashekhara Bhat and Robert Zwaska named APS fellows by the Division of Physics of Beams for their contributions to high-energy physics.

The scientists have been selected 2022 fellows of the American Physical Society, a distinction awarded each year to no more than one-half of 1% of current APS members by their peers.

From Brookhaven National Laboratory, October 11, 2022: Brookhaven National Lab announced yesterday that two of their scientists who led the “E821 g-2” experiment at BNL from 1990 through 2004 received the APS’s 2023 W.K.H. Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics. William M. Morse and Bradley Lee Roberts received the honor for their leadership and technical ingenuity in achieving a measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment with a precision suitable to probe Standard Model.

Cristina Mantilla Suarez is the recipient of the Mitsuyoshi Tanaka Dissertation Award in Experimental Particle Physics by the American Physical Society.

Ihar Lobach, a former student in the Fermilab Accelerator Ph.D. Program, is the recipient of the American Physical Society’s 2022 Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in Beam Physics Award. He was recognized for outstanding research contributions as well as for developing an experimental method.

From Stony Brook University, December 1, 2021: Chang Kee Jung, founding member of the DUNE collaboration, is recipient of the 2022 Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize by the American Physical Society. Professor Jung is being recognized for his outstanding contributions and leadership in experimental neutrino physics and outstanding teaching and outreach, especially in the physics of sports.

From Berkeley Lab, Feb. 17, 2021: Fermilab is part of a team of national labs that designed, built and fully tested a prototype magnet for today’s and tomorrow’s light sources. These light sources let scientists see things once thought impossible. They can use these visions to create more durable materials, build more efficient batteries and computers, and learn more about the natural world.

Fermilab scientist Joel Butler has been elected vice chair of its Executive Committee. He will begin as vice chair on Jan. 1, 2020, rotating to chair-elect in 2021 and chair in 2022.
