Awards

Paula Brown has earned many awards including the following.[3]

gollark: > Cherenkov radiation (/tʃəˈrɛŋkɒf/;[1] Russian: Черенков) is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. A classic example of Cherenkov radiation is the characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor. The phenomenon is named for Soviet physicist Pavel Cherenkov, who shared the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics for its discovery. (praise wikipedia, etc)
gollark: ???
gollark: Neutrinos are not charged.
gollark: Ah, it's specifically CHARGED particles, I checked.
gollark: No, I mean is Cherenkov radiation not... caused by alpha/beta radiation, not neutrinos?
