  • 2023 Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics

  • Professor Jen-Chieh Peng

    2023 Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics Recipient
    The Bonner prize was established by the American Physical Society (APS) to recognize and encourage outstanding research in nuclear physics, including the development of a method, technique, or device that significantly contributes in a general way to nuclear physics research. The prize was endowed in 1964 as a memorial to Tom W. Bonner by his friends, students and associates.
    The recipient of the 2023 Bonner Prize is Professor Jen-Chieh Peng According to the APS announcement is being acknowledged
    "For pioneering work on studying antiquark distributions in the nucleons and nuclei using the Drell-Yan process as an experimental tool, and for seminal work on elucidating the origins of the flavor asymmetries of the light-quark sea in the nucleons."

    Professor Peng’s research is supported by the DOE’s Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics (NP).
