Our paper is selected to be the 30th Outstanding Paper Award of the Physical Society of Japan

A paper by H. Kurasawa (Chiba Univ.), T. Suda and T. Suzuki (Tohoku Univ.) has been selected for the 30th (2025) Physical Society of Japan (JPS) Outstanding Paper Award.

This award recognizes researchers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of physics through the publication of innovative research papers..

The paper revealed, for the first time, that information on neutron distributions in nuclei is accessible through the fourth moments of charge density distributions determined by electron scattering. This groundbreaking result challenges the conventional understanding that electron scattering only provides detailed information about proton distributions in nuclei. The work has garnered significant global attention for its transformative implications.

The award ceremony will take place during the 80th Annual Meeting of the Physical Society of Japan at Hiroshima University in the coming September.
