Marek Matas receives the Josef Hlavka Prize
The Josef Hlavka prize is awarded to young researchers that have shown exceptional abilities and creativity in their field of science.
Congratulations to Marek Matas who has received the prize for his contribution to high-energy Quantum Chromodynamics. Marek was able to compute the gluonic structure of the proton with respect to its transverse coordinate with the help of the non-linear evolution equations and obtain thus a "3D scan of the proton". He then confirmed his predictions with various measurements from accelerator experiments and released his predictions for public use by the low-x physics community.
