The Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 for the discovery of neutrino oscillations

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2015 to Takaaki Kajita (Super-Kamiokande Collaboration, Japan) and Arthur B. McDonald (Sudbury Neutrino Observatory Collaboration, Canada) “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass”. “The 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.” Prof. Kajita is the scientist in charge of the Univ. of Tokyo node of the ITN network Invisibles: Neutrinos, Dark Matter and Dark Energy coordinated by Belén Gavela at the IFT. He visited Madrid last June with the occasion of the Invisibles15 Workshop where he presented the talk Future neutrino oscillation experiments. See more: here
