The Giuseppe and Vanna Cocconi Prize Awarded at the 2021 EPS-HEP Conference
Today, on 26 July 2021, the Giuseppe and Vanna Cocconi Prize has been awarded at the conference of the European Physical Society on high-energy physics (EPS-HEP 2021).
The international Borexino collaboration received the prestigious Giuseppe and Vanna Cocconi Prize of the European Physical Society in astrophysics and cosmology for breakthrough studies of solar neutrinos providing a unique and exhaustive proof of nuclear fusion reactions in the Sun in the pp chain and in the CNO cycle.
The Borexino collaboration embraces groups of scientists from Italy, Germany, the USA, France, Russia and Poland. The group from the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems (JINR) is one of the oldest in the collaboration and has been involved in the experiment from its discussion stage since 1991. Along with the JINR scientists, colleagues from the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” working at the sites in Moscow and in St. Petersburg at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute of the NRC “Kurchatov Institute” and also specialists from the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University are taking part in the Borexino project.
Congratulations to all collaboration members on this award! We heartily wish them new bright scientific discoveries and achievements!
