The G.N. Flerov Prize is Awarded for Studies of Exotic
Nuclei Near the Drip-Lines
The G.N. Flerov prize for 2009
is awarded to Sidney Gales, Dominique
Guillemaud-Mueller, and Yuri
Penionzhkevich for outstanding
results achieved in the study of the
properties of exotic nuclei near the
nucleon drip-line (see figure).
The G.N. Flerov prize was established
in 1992 in accordance with
the resolution of the 71st Session of
the Scientific Council of the Joint
Institute for Nuclear Research
(Dubna) in memory of the eminent
physicist Georgy Nikolaevich Flerov
(1913–1990).
The prize is awarded for the contributions
in the field of nuclear
physics related to Flerov’s interests
connected with the experimental
heavy ion physics including the synthesis
of heavy and exotic nuclei
using ion beams of stable and radioactive
isotopes, studies of nuclear
reactions, acceleration technology,
and applied research.
