Nobel Prize in Physics Goes to Frederick Reines for Detection of the Neutrino…
DEC 01, 1995
In the 1950s Reines and Cowan sought and found the hypothetical particle postulated by Pauli in 1930. Four decades later (two decades after Cowan’s death) Reines is being honored for this feat.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics “for pioneering experimental contributions to lepton physics.” The prize will be shared by Frederick Reines of the University of California, Irvine, for the detection of the neutrino and by Martin L. Perl of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center for the discovery of the tau lepton.
