Edward Teller Award

The Edward Teller Award recognizes pioneering research and leadership in the use of high-intensity drivers to produce unique high-density matter for scientific research and for investigations of inertial fusion. The award is presented normally at the International Conference on Inertial Fusion Science Applications (IFSA) in odd-numbered years. The award consists of an engraved silver medal and a monetary award of $2,000. A maximum of two awards per cycle may be made.

Engraved silver medal and $2,000 monetary award; up to two awards per cycle.

Nominees may be from any nation, need not be ANS members, and must be living at the time of award selection. Nominations are open to persons who have made significant advances in capabilities (drivers, diagnostics, targets, numerical modeling) or advanced the physics of inertial fusion and applications.

Nominations require a completed nomination form and supporting documents: nominator letter, ~1,000-word narrative, five relevant publications, brief CV, and up to five letters of support. Nominations are submitted via the ANS nomination portal.
