Siegfried Glenzer - 2004 Humboldt Award
"For his outstanding contributions to plasma and atomic physics at high densities and temperatures. The development of x-ray Compton and Thomson scattering experiments as a diagnostic tool has lead to an enormous progress in the understanding of the complex physical behavior of strongly correlated matter. These novel techniques are the basis for pioneering experiments on hot dense plasmas and for future experiments with the Free Electron Laser at DESY Hamburg."
Siegfried Glenzer - 2003 John Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics
"For elegant diagnostics using collective Thomson scattering together with x-ray spectroscopy which greatly advanced the understanding of the complex plasma environment in laser driven hohlraums used in inertial confinement fusion."
Siegfried Glenzer - 2001 APS Fellow
For the development of Thomson Scattering for the diagnostics of high temperature inertial confinement fusion plasmas and for important contributions to understanding of plasma waves, atomic physics, and hydrodynamics of hot dense plasmas.
