Newswise — Last month, three Fermilab scientists were named fellows of the American Physical Society, a distinction awarded each year to no more than one-half of 1 percent of current APS members by their peers.
John Campbell was named a 2014 fellow to the Division of Particles and Fields for work in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, especially the precise simulation of Standard Model processes in high-energy particle collisions.
Deborah Harris was named a 2014 fellow to the Division of Particles and Fields for leadership in measuring the neutrino reactions that enable current and future accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments.
Alexander Zlobin was named a fellow to the Division of the Physics of Beams for his multiyear leadership, personal innovative contributions and achievements in the development and demonstration of new-generation superconducting accelerator magnets based on Nb3Sn superconductor.
Several Fermilab users were also named APS fellows: David Asner (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory), Mary Bishai (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Eva Halkiadakis (Rutgers University), Wai-Yee Keung (University of Illinois at Chicago), Kevin Pitts (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Maria Spiropulu (California Institute of Technology).
