"Argonne Scientists Awarded Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics"

Author: Brock Cooper

Steven Pieper and Robert Wiringa, senior scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, have won the 2010 Tom W. Bonner Prize in nuclear physics. The award will be presented by the American Physical Society in Washington, D.C., in February 2010.

Pieper and Wiringa, who are theoretical physicists, won the prize for developing and applying models of nuclear forces and methods to calculate the properties of light nuclei. The prize typically recognizes outstanding experimental research in nuclear physics, but in special circumstances it may be awarded for outstanding theoretical work.
