2020 JSA Thesis Prize awarded to Weizhi Xiong for work on proton charge radius measurement

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – The proton was discovered just over a hundred years ago and has been intensely studied ever since. Yet, there’s still more to learn about this important building block of the visible universe. Now, work toward a better understanding of the proton carried out at the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has earned Weizhi Xiong the 2020 Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) Thesis Prize.

Teachers of 5th, 6th and 8th grade physical science are invited to apply for an after-school training program to add to their teaching toolkit

Antoni Woss earned JSA’s 2019 Thesis Prize for
exploring the theory underpinning the properties of
subatomic particles
and how they can decay

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Hadrons are elusive superstars of the subatomic world, making up almost all visible matter, and British theoretical physicist Antoni Woss has worked diligently with colleagues at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility to get to know them better.

Wenliang “Bill” Li won the 2020 JSA Postdoctoral Prize to run experiments that will examine proton structure from a lesser-studied perspective

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – To help people understand the research he conducts at the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Wenliang “Bill” Li likens it to studying the dark side of the moon. Now, the research he is undertaking from this unusual perspective has earned him the 2020 Jefferson Science Associates Postdoctoral Prize.
