Article wins Excellence in Publication Award

Posted by:

“Neutrino Detectors as Tools for Nuclear Security” written by Adam Bernstein, Nathaniel Bowden, Bethany L. Goldblum, Patrick Huber, Igor Jovanovic, and John Mattingly, has won the Physical and Life Sciences Directorate Award at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for Excellence in Publication. This article provides a wide reaching summary of the neutrino applications field and was lauded for presenting the potential applications of neutrino detectors in nonproliferation, arms control, and fissile materials security.

Publication co-author Dr. Bethany Goldblum is the Executive Director of NSSC. Other authors represent the CVT and CNEC DNN R&D consortia.

The article was published in Review of Modern Physics (RMP), a top tier journal in the field and part of the American Physical Society collection. The article may be read here. As stated by the Review of Modern Physics website, RMP is “is the world’s premier physics review journal and the most highly cited Physical Review publication. Written by leading international researchers, RMP’s in-depth essays provide outstanding coverage of a topic and give context and background for current research trends.” Colloquia articles of the type nominated here “communicate results at the frontiers of physics, which may impact several subfields.” The journal publishes only 30-40 articles per year and has an outstanding impact factor of greater than 45.

The RMP article was also featured in the new piece, “Neutrino Detectors for National Security,” in Physics Today: https://physics.aps.org/articles/v13/36
