In the Milan Odehnal Awards the Jaderňáci team took first and second place

Vojtěch Janeček and Dagmar Bendová won first and second place in the Milan Odehnal Award for 2022. They were joined by Jakub Cimerman, who received an honorable mention. All three award winners are from the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (FJFI).

The competition for young scientists of up to 30 years of age is organized in two-year cycles by the Czech Physical Society, the scientific section of the Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists (JČMF). The award ceremony will take place at the JČMF Congress in Pilsen on 23-25 July 2022.

The winner of the competition was Ing. Vojtěch Vaněček from the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and from FJFI for his research and development of halide scintillators. Ing. Dagmar Bendová won the second place with her work on saturation of gluon density. Jakub Cimerman received an honorable mention for his work on the phenomenology of quark-gluon plasmas. The full results can be found on the JCMF website.

In total, thirteen participants took part in this year's competition and submitted three entries in avarage. According to the jury, the professional level of all the judged works was excellent and the competition was very balanced. Therefore, in addition to awarding the four works (two of them were awarded second place), the jury also awarded four honorable mentions.

The competition is named after Milan Odehnal (15.12.1932 - 17.9.1988), an outstanding experimenter and theoretician in low temperature physics. His achievements include polarized proton targets (use of organic substances for large targets), nuclear magnetic resonance (discovery of two-quantum transitions, laws of forbidden transitions in weak magnetic fields), weak superconductivity and superconducting quantum SQUID magnetometers (measurement of magnetic fields of the human heart and brain).
