An Israeli researcher won an award from the American Physical Society

Ariel Naus, faculty member of the FEL Center for Particle Accelerators of Ariel University, won the award for the best doctoral thesis in particle physics that he did at Tel Aviv University and is now in post-doctoral training at UCLA

The American Physical Society awarded Israeli student Aryeh Naus an award for the best doctoral thesis.
Ariel Naus, is a faculty member of the Center for Compact Accelerators and FEL of Ariel University and a postdoctoral student at UCLA University, recently won two prestigious awards, one from the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York and the other from the American Physical Society for the best doctoral thesis in beam physics for the year 2014.

The Brookhaven National Laboratory, one of the largest and most prominent research institutes in the USA, where hundreds of experiments are conducted each year, awarded the annual prize for the best thesis work done by them to Ariel and another American student. Ariel performed the experimental part of the research work there and his work was chosen as the best of all together with another work by an American student.
A prestigious and even more significant prize will be awarded to Ariel this coming May, by the American Physical Society, at the biannual accelerator conference IPAC 2015. Doctoral students all over the world apply to win the prize, and a committee that includes prominent scientists in the field chose Ariel Naus's work as the best doctoral thesis out of hundreds jobs

"My research work deals with controlling the basic process of microdynamics and radiation from charged particle beams, under the influence of longitudinal 'spatial charge' forces, explains Ariel Naos, a native of Yokneam who lived in Tel Aviv until recently and his research was done as a student of Prof. Gober at Uni in Tel Aviv , "These subjects are of basic scientific interest in themselves, but are very relevant to the study of 'free electron lasers'. I was able to demonstrate for the first time, the reduction of current noise in the particle beam even below the classical limit of "shot-noise". Happily, the results of my experiments were even published in the prestigious magazine Nature Physics."
