Edward Teller Award

This award was established in June 1999 to be presented as an ANS Division award. The Teller Award was established previously by the conference series formerly called Laser Interaction and Related Plasma Phenomenon (LIRPP). It is presently funded by an endowment fund established by the Fusion Energy Division of ANS.

The Edward Teller Award recognizes pioneering research and leadership in the use of laser and ion-particle beams to produce unique high-temperature and high-density matter for scientific research and for controlled thermonuclear fusion.

The award is normally presented at the International Conference on Inertial Fusion Science Applications (IFSA) during odd years.
