Dear Dr. Briscoe:
I have the honor of informing you that the Council of the American
Physical Society at its November 2005 meeting acted favorably on your
nomination for Fellowship in the Society upon the recommendation of
the Division of Nuclear Physics. As you may know, election to Fellowship
in the American Physical Society is limited to no more than one half
of one percent of the membership. Election to APS Fellowship is recognition
by your peers of your outstanding contributions to physics.
The citation, which will appear on your Fellowship Certificate, will
read as follows:
|
"For significant contributions to the understanding of pionic and electromagnetic interactions with nucleons and nuclei, fundamental symmetries such as time-reversal invariance and charge symmetry; and the design and construction of the JLab Tagged Photon Facility. " |
Your name and Fellowship citation, as well as the others elected to Fellowship this year will be published in the March 2006 issue of APS News. It also will appear on the Fellowship Page of the APS Home Page [http://www.aps.org].
Presentation of fellowship certificates is usually done at the annual meeting of the unit through which you were elected. If you have any questions regarding the presentation of your certificate, please contact the Secretary/Treasurer of your sponsoring unit (division, forum or topical group). Announcement of your election can be sent to your supervisor or institution public affairs office upon request (please send us the relevant contact information).
Congratulations on being elected a Fellow of the American Physical
Society.
Very truly yours, |
