The Fritz London Memorial Prize

Nominations are sought for the Fritz London Memorial Prize for Low Temperature Physics, which will be presented at the beginning of the International Low Temperature Conference (LT23) in Hiroshima, Japan in August 2002. The Fritz London Memorial Prize is an international prize that is awarded once every three years which is intended to recognize outstanding experimental and theoretical contributions to low temperature physics.

Nominations and supporting letters
	Deadline for the receipt:
		November 30, 2001
	Address of Chairman of the London Prize Committee:
		Prof. Moses H.W. Chan Dept. of Physics Pennsylvania State Univeristy, 104 Davey Laboratory, University Park, Pa 16802 U.S.A.
	A letter of nomination should clearly state all of the following:
	The basis for the proposed prize. Citations to publications on which the nomination is based. An assessment of the impact to the low temperature community. Relevant biographical information, and current institutional affiliation.
	Supporting letters should assess the following:
	The quality and significance of the work of the candidate.

There are no restrictions on nationality or age of those who are given this prize. It has been the policy of the committee to avoid giving the prize for work that has already been recognized by the Simon Prize or by other comparable awards, and to look more favorably on recent work than on work whose significance has been apparent for a long time.
