Support the Henry Primakoff Award Endowment
Your gift supports early-career particle physicists
The Henry Primakoff Award for Early Career Particle Physics honors exceptional research in particle physics by early-career scientists.
The award currently includes a $3,000 stipend, and your generous support will allow us to increase this stipend to $5,000, making it on par with other APS early-career awards and sustaining early-career scientists' work in particle physics.

About Henry Primakoff
This award is named to honor noted physicist Henry Primakoff. His research interests included:
- Spin waves in ferromagnetism
- The photo-production method for measuring the short lifetimes of neutral mesons
- Underwater shock waves
- Weak interaction phenomena in nuclei, including double beta decay, muon capture
- Neutrino scattering
The Henry Primakoff Award ensures that early-career physicists can carry on important research in particle physics.
