(Prize Winners and Citations (in alphabetical order)

1. Professor Rainer J. Fries

Assistant Professor of Physics
Texas A&M University
College Station

Texas , USA

"For his seminal contributions to our understanding of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and the quark-gluon plasma, in particular the valence-quark recombination of hadrons from the thermal, de-confined partonic medium and direct photon radiation from scattered partons"

2. Dr. Yuri A. Litvinov

Staff Scientist
GSI Darmstadt – Helmholtz Centre for Ion Research
Darmstadt

Germany

"For his seminal contributions to the development of the new technique of broad-band, high-resolution mass measurements with single-ion sensitivity in a high-energy storage ring and its innovative use in nuclear property measurements far off stability"

3. Dr. Kimiko Sekiguchi

Contract Scientist
Institute of Physical and Chemical Research
RIKEN Research Centre
Wako, Saitamo

Japan

"For her crucial contributions to the study of the nuclear forces, in particular the elucidation of the importance of the three-body force, through extensive and precise measurements of polarized proton-deuteron scattering and proton-induced deuteron break-up"
