High Energy Particle Physics Group

This is an IOP special interest group, which is a community of IOP members focused on a particular discipline, application or area of interest.

Special interest groups allow members to connect and share knowledge and ideas. The IOP funds groups to deliver a range of activities including events, prizes and bursaries. All of our groups are driven by members.

About the group

As a special interest, member-driven group, we focus on the building blocks of matter. We support our members with meetings, prizes and an annual conference.

We are interested in how the smallest building blocks of matter interact with each other.

What the group does

We focus on:

representing our members to the Institute of Physics and external bodies
early career prizes
half-day meetings about topics suggested by our members
an annual three- to four-day conference, often held jointly with other IOP groups

Group prizes

We have three prizes for physicists in the early stages of their career.

To be nominated you will:

have worked for less than 12 years since the award of your first degree (excluding career breaks)
have carried out work while funded by a UK/Ireland institution
give consent to be nominated
not be a member of the High Energy Particle Physics Group committee

The winner is chosen by the High Energy Particle Physics Group committee members.

Members cannot nominate more than one candidate for each prize.
