The 2024 Bruno Rossi Prize has been awarded to Dr. Martin Weisskopf, Dr. Paolo Soffitta, and the IXPE team for their development of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer whose novel measurements advance our understanding of particle acceleration and emission from astrophysical shocks, black holes and neutron stars.
The IXPE national coordinator for INFN (Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics) is Luca Baldini, professor at the Department of Physics at the University of Pisa.
