NOBEL PRIZES IN PHYSICS FOR 2015
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2015 to Takaaki Kajita from Japan and Arthur B. McDonald of Canada “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass”.
Metamorphosis in the particle worldThe Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 recognises Takaaki Kajita in Japan and Arthur B. McDonald in Canada, for their key contributions to the experiments which demonstrated that neutrinos change identities. This metamorphosis requires that neutrinos have mass. The discovery has changed our understanding of the innermost workings of matter and can prove crucial to our view of the universe.
Takaaki Kajita, Japanese citizen was born 1959 in Higashimatsuyama, Japan. Ph.D. 1986 from University of Tokyo, Japan was presently Director of Institute for Cosmic Ray Research and Professor at University of Tokyo, Kashiwa, Japan.
Arthur B. McDonald, Canadian citizen was born 1943 in Sydney, Canada. He did Ph.D. in 1969 from California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA and presently Professor Emeritus at Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada.
Prize amount: SEK 8 million, to be shared equally between the Laureates.
