EPJ D - Gaetana Laricchia wins Thomson Medal

Gaetana Laricchia

Professor Gaetana Laricchia of UCL, London, has been awarded the Thomson medal and prize for her contributions to the development of the world's only positronium beam and its use to probe the properties of atoms and molecules. This follows closely the Occhialini prize which she received in 2009.

Professor Laricchia's achievements include measurements of near - threshold ionisation which have led to the development of new threshold laws. Her unique kinematically complete measurements (in which the energy distribution among all particles is accounted for) of direct ionisation by positron impact revealed the occurrence of electron - capture - to - the - continuum. This work also exposed an unexpected symmetry in the energy sharing between the ejected electron and the positron which theorists are still struggling to explain.

Professor Laricchia was appointed Associate Editor for EPJ D in January 2010. The whole editorial team and the publishers congratulate her on this prestigious award.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
