spin resolved photoemission at a remarkable level of detail.
The ceremony, which will also include some brief lectures, will be introduced by
Vice Rector Johan Tysk at the Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology

About the Kai Siegbahn Prize
Uppsala University’s most recent Nobel laureate, Kai Siegbahn, started the scientific journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research and when he passed away in 2009 the journal instituted the Kai Siegbahn Prize. It is conferred every third year to ‘recognize and encourage prominent experimental work in synchrotron light research with substantial features of instrument development’.
