IUPAP-TIFR Homi Bhabha Medal Medal and Prize 2011
The
IUPAP-TIFR Homi Bhabha Medal and Prize (http://www.tifr.res.in/~HomiBhabhaMedal)
has been established by the IUPAP and the Tata Institute of
Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai (India) in 2010 to honour
Homi Jehangir Bhabha, theoretical cosmic ray physicist
well-known for Bhabha-Heitler Cascade theory and relativistic
electron scattering. Homi Bhabha founded the TIFR in 1945 and
initiated the nuclear energy program in India in 1951 with
strong support from the well-known philanthropist and
industrialist JRD Tata and the Government of India then led by
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Homi Bhabha initiated
experimental programs for the study of cosmic ray particles
and their interactions with instruments either carried aloft
to the top of the atmosphere with balloons or placed in
laboratories at high altitude or deep underground. The Homi
Bhabha Medal and Prize consists of a certificate, a medal, a
cheque for US $ 5000 and an invitation to visit the TIFR,
Mumbai to give a public lecture and will be awarded biennially
at the International Cosmic Ray Conferences (ICRCs), held
generally in odd-numbered years.
The
IUPAP-TIFR Homi Bhabha Medal and Prize will be awarded to an
active scientist who has made distinguished contributions in
the field of high energy cosmic ray physics and astro-particle
physics over an extended academic career. The winner of the
prize will be selected by the members of the C4 Commission and
a senior member of the cosmic ray group at TIFR nominated by
the Director, TIFR. The winner of the 2011 prize will be
presented the prize certificate at the ICRC 2011 in Beijing,
China, in August 2011 and invited to visit the TIFR at a
mutually convenient time sometime during the next 2 years to
deliver a public lecture. The Director, TIFR will present the
Homi Bhabha medal and a cheque for US $ 5000 to the winner on
this occasion. The winner will be provided with reasonable
travel expenses and local hospitality for the visit to Mumbai
and other TIFR laboratories in India.
The
nominations for the prize to be awarded at the ICRC 2011 in
Beijing in August 2011 should be sent to Suresh Tonwar, Chair
of the Cosmic Ray Commission (C4) along with supporting

Yodh
Prize
The
Yodh Prize (http://hep.ps.uci.edu/~yodhprize) was established
in 1998 to recognize a scientist whose research career has
made substantial contributions to understanding in the field
of Cosmic Rays. The research should have had a major impact in
the field. There is no age restriction. The Prize was endowed
by Gaurang and Kanwal
Yodh to the University of California Irvine Foundation. The
awardee will be selected
by an international committee of distinguished scientists in
the field of Cosmic Rays and Astroparticle Physics. The
winner will be invited to visit the University of California,
Irvine, to present a colloquium to the faculty and students in
the Department of Physics and Astronomy at some time during
the following year. The award consists of a prize of US $ 2000
and will be presented at the 32nd ICRC at Beijing, China,
in August 2011.
Nominations
supporting the case, including the nominee's curriculum vitae
and publication list of the important publications,
should be submitted to the Secretary of the Yodh Prize
Committee. The sponsor may also wish to ask two co-sponsors to
send letters supporting the nomination. Nominations should be
sent to the following address:
