Charles Gale wins CAP-CRM Prize

Charles Gale Mar 2015: Charles Gale has won this year's CAP-CRM Prize in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Charles has made (and continues to make) distinguished original research contributions to three areas of theoretical nuclear physics: the determination of the equation of state from medium energy heavy ion collisions, the use of photons, lepton pairs and jets as probes of the hot and dense matter formed in high energy heavy ion collisions, and the implementation of a state-of-the-art computer code for fully 3+1 dimensional second-order viscous relativistic fluid dynamics for heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC.
