Nobel Prize, 1995, for pioneering contributions to the development of neutron scattering techniques for studies of condensed matter and for the discovery of the tau lepton
Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 1988
Wolf Prize in Physics, 1982, for the experimental discovery of unexpected new particles establishing a third generation of quarks and leptons
Member of the National Academy of Sciences, 1981
Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, 1969

The Nobel Prize citation emphasized Perl's role in both condensed matter physics and particle physics. The discovery of the tau lepton was a crucial milestone toward understanding the lepton family and the Standard Model of particle physics. Concurrently, the development of neutron scattering techniques contributed tools for investigating the structural properties of condensed matter systems.

Perl's recognition through the Wolf Prize further reflected the experimental nature of their contributions, particularly in identifying new particles that expanded the known generations of quarks and leptons, which are fundamental constituents in the field of particle physics.

Election as a Member of the National Academy of Sciences and fellowship in the AAAS and Guggenheim Memorial Foundation denote a broad acknowledgement within the scientific community of Perl's research impact and professional standing during their career.
