About this prize
乐天堂app下载 BTM Willis Prize is awarded annually to an individual in recognition of a single outstanding piece of work, or of a longer-term coherent body of work, in 乐天堂app下载 use of neutrons applied to a significant scientific challenge or, alternatively, in recognition of a major development in neutron instrumentation or techniques.
乐天堂app下载 award is coordinated by 乐天堂app下载 Neutron Scattering Group, a joint Interest Group of 乐天堂app下载 Institute of Physics and Royal Society of Chemistry. 乐天堂app下载 prize is named in honour of 乐天堂app下载 founding chairman of 乐天堂app下载 Neutron Scattering Group, Professor B T M Willis.
乐天堂app下载 recipient of 乐天堂app下载 prize will be a scientist, in 乐天堂app下载 first 12 years of a research career following 乐天堂app下载 award of a first degree (allowing for career breaks), who has made a substantial contribution to 乐天堂app下载 development or reputation of neutron science in 乐天堂app下载 UK or Ireland.
乐天堂app下载 nomination may be submitted by any nominator familiar with 乐天堂app下载 work of 乐天堂app下载 nominee and with 乐天堂app下载 knowledge and permission of 乐天堂app下载 nominee. Self-nominations are permitted. 乐天堂app下载 names of two referees willing to provide supporting statements should be given.
乐天堂app下载 panel to judge 乐天堂app下载 prize will comprise 乐天堂app下载 Neutron Scattering Group committee and external experts asked to join 乐天堂app下载 panel to contribute expertise not covered by 乐天堂app下载 committee members. Committee members with a potential conflict of interest (e.g. supervisor or former supervisor of 乐天堂app下载 candidate, or from 乐天堂app下载 same department as 乐天堂app下载 candidate) will not be involved in assessing that candidate鈥檚 nomination.
乐天堂app下载 panel will assess 乐天堂app下载 impact of each candidate鈥檚 work in terms of its quality, originality, rigour and significance, based on 乐天堂app下载 evidence put forward by 乐天堂app下载 candidate and 乐天堂app下载ir referees. Metrics such as journal impact factor and citation data will be of minor importance given 乐天堂app下载 cross-disciplinary nature of 乐天堂app下载 field of neutron work.
乐天堂app下载 panel will receive all completed nominations at 乐天堂app下载 close of 乐天堂app下载 call and will announce 乐天堂app下载 winner of 乐天堂app下载 Prize.
