Established in 2003, the H. Wade Patterson Memorial Award is awarded at
the annual Health Physics Society meeting to recognize outstanding
students in accelerator health physics. The cash award and plaque are
given as a tribute to H. Wade Patterson (1924--1997), who is generally
regarded as the father of accelerator health physics. Dr. Patterson was
the first president of the Accelerator Section.
