The Second World War had a great influence on the lives and careers of very many of us for
whom those were formative years. I was involved during, and then subsequent to, the war in …

Neutrinos are perhaps the most enigmatic particles in the universe. These tiny, ghostly
particles are formed by the billions in stars and pass through us constantly, unseen, at …

My colleagues Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger and I, sharing the 1988 Nobel Award,
were faced with a dilemma. We could, in Rashomon-like fashion, each de-scribe the two …

The neutrino was the first elementary particle proposed that was not a constituent of ordinary
matter. Because neutrinos interact only weakly, they play a unique role in particle physics …

During the 1920's physicists came to accept the view that matter is built of only two kinds of
elementary particles, electrons and protons, which they often called “negative and positive …

Because neutrinos interact so weakly with matter, Pauli bet a case of champagne that
nobody would ever detect one. Indeed this was the case until 1956, when Clyde Cowan and …

The neutrino—the mystery and the discovery In the 1920s, physicists were confused: the
phenomenon of β decay (in which an electron is emitted from the atomic nucleus) seemed to …

The physics of neutrinos--uncharged elementary particles that are key to hel** us better
understand the nature of our universe--is one of the most exciting frontiers of modern …

Ever since it was first proposed the neutrino has played a crucial role in the advancement of
our understanding of particle physics. The neutrino was first conjectured by W. Pauli in a …

[en] The lecture, presented on the occasion of awarding the Nobel Prize in physics, is
devoted to the discovery of the electron neutrino. The method of direct detection of neutrinos …
