Claudia Tambasco honoured with CHIPP Prize 2018
In order for physicists at CERN to carry out their experiments for the understanding of matter, the large particle accelerator LHC must be operated with the utmost precision. Ensuring this precision both now and in the future was the overriding goal of a doctoral thesis that Claudia Tambasco recently completed at the EPFL in Lausanne. For this work, the young researcher was today (28.08.2018) awarded the prize of the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP) at a ceremony in Lausanne.

The experimental detection of dark matter is one of the great challenges of current fundamental research in physics. This year’s prize of the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP) is awarded to the physicist Dr. Johanna Gramling for her latest contributions to the search for this mysterious component of matter.

Dans la célèbre pièce de théâtre de Johann Wolfgang von Goethes, le savant universel Heinrich Faust demande ce qui assure la cohésion interne du monde. En vue de trouver une réponse, Faust se voue même à la magie. Dans son doctorat, la physicienne de Bâle Lilian Witthauer se penche également sur cette grande question. Elle n'a pas trouvé de réponse dans la magie mais grâce à des expériences sophistiquées sur des accélérateurs d'électrons. La grande qualité de son travail scientifique lui a valu l'honneur de recevoir le prix CHIPP 2015 le 29 juin.
CHIPP Prize 2014
ETH doctoral candidate Marco Peruzzi has been awarded the CHIPP prize 2014 at the CHIPP annual meeting in Fribourg. The 26-year old physicist of Italian descent analyses the so called diphoton decay in the CMS experiment at CERN. His research is a valuable contribution to a better understanding of the Higgs-particle.
CHIPP prize 2013
On the occasion of its 2013 meeting in Sursee (LU), the Swiss Institute for Particle Physics (CHIPP) has awarded the annual prize for outstanding research in the area of particle physics. Martin Fertl (29) received the prize for his research on the influence of electric fields on neutrons, conducted at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in Villigen (AG).
