DPP was established in 1959.
The first elected Chair was Melvin B. Gottlieb,
Princeton University. Each year since 1975 the
James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics
(est. 1975) is presented at the Annual Meeting,
along with the John Dawson Award for Excellence
in Plasma Physics Research (est. 1981 as the
Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics
Research), and the Marshall N. Rosenbluth
Outstanding Doctoral Thesis in Plasma Physics
Award (est. 1985 as the Simon Ramo Award). The
Nicholson Medal for Humanitarian Service was
established in 1994 by DPP and the Forum on
Physics and Society, and is presented at an APS
meeting annually.
