IUPAP YOUNG SCIENTIST PRIZE IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS

This prize was established by IUPAP in 2005 at the time of the General
Assembly in Capetown, South Africa.
The purpose of this prize, which consists of 1,000 €, a medal, and a
certificate citing the recipient's contributions, is:
To recognize and encourage very promising experimental or theoretical
research in nuclear physics, including the advancement of a method, a
procedure, a technique, or a device that contributes in a significant
way to nuclear physics research. Candidates for the prize must have a
maximum of eight years of research experience (excluding career
interruptions) following the Ph.D. (or equivalent) degree.
Nominations by one or two nominators (and distinct from the nominee) are
open to all experimental and theoretical nuclear physicists. Three
prizes will ordinarily be awarded at the time of the tri-annual
International Nuclear Physics Conference.
Nominations are due November 1 of the year preceding the International
Nuclear Physics Conference and are valid only until then. It will be
extremely helpful to the selection committee to receive at least two
additional letters supporting the nomination that detail the expected
significance of the contributions of the nominee to nuclear physics. It
is also appropriate to submit additional materials such as published
articles that underline the expected significance of the nominee's
contribution to nuclear physics. It is important that the selection
committee has the specific information that allows it to determine what
the nominee has contributed and how this contribution is expected to
impact the field.
Nominations for prizes to be awarded at the next International Nuclear
Physics Conference, June 2-7, 2013, in FLORENCE, Italy, are to be sent
by email by November 1, 2012 to the Chair of the IUPAP Commission of
Nuclear Physics (C12):  Prof. Hideyuki Sakai , RIKEN Nishina Center,
