Youichi Sakawa and Hideaki Takabe receive the John Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research in 2020 from American Physical Society,
“For generating Weibel-mediated collisionless shocks in the laboratory, impacting a broad range of energetic astrophysical scenarios, plasma physics, and experiments using high energy and high power lasers conducted at basic plasma science facilities.”
The rationales and relevant publications can be found here.
We celebrate this and bring interdisciplinary expertise to share and discuss the next novel development in nonlinear plasma physics.
The workshop is supported by JSPS Core-to-Core Program.
