High Energy Particle Physics Group Prize

The prize is awarded to an early career researcher for outstanding contributions to particle physics research. The prize is a certificate.

Nominees will:

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

Nominations should comprise a summary case of up to two pages, together with major citation evidence (where relevant) and may include up to two letters of support for the candidate.

Nominations are now open and should be sent to the group’s Honorary Secretary, Tracey Berry: [email protected].

Nominations close at 17.00 on Monday 1 April 2024.
