The 2018 prize ceremony was held on 16 April 2018, during the DIS2018 workshop in Kobe, Japan. It was awarded:


  • for theory, to Jun Gao (Shanghai Jiao Tong University)
    "for innovative contributions to the precision QCD theory of collider processes and nucleon structure"

  • for experimental physics, to Or Hen (MIT, experiments at Jefferson Lab)
    "for his role in uncovering a striking relation of the nuclear EMC effect and the strength of nucleon-nucleon correlations, with implications for the constraint of the down and up quark distribution ratio at large x""
