The Nuclear Physics Division (NPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) announced that the winners of the 2024 Lise Meitner prize are Prof. Dr. Muhsin N. Harakeh (University of Groningen - Netherlands) & Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Achim Richter (Technical University of Darmstadt - Germany).
Prof. Harakeh is chair of ELI-NP's ISAB and supports its development with his award-winning expertise.
Prof. Richter has discovered the nuclear scissor mode, which led to a renaissance of nuclear
research with photonuclear reactions. The latter has expanded tremendously over the last few
decades and is one of the core missions of ELI-NP.
