The 2015 Noble Prize in Physics

Arthur B. McDonald (Canada) and Takaaki Kajita (Japan) have jointly won the prestigious 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Both are Selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for their key contributions to experiments showing that neutrinos change identities. They individually have shown that neutrinos have mass and discovered neutrino oscillations .

Arthur McDonald

Mr. McDonald is a retired professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. He had led a research group which had demonstrated that the neutrinos from the Sun were not fading on their way to Earth.The group had recorded these neutrinos with a different identity at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (Canada).

Takaaki Kajita

Mr.Takaaki Kajita is from the University of Tokyo, Japan. He had invented that neutrinos from the atmosphere switch amid two identities when they reach earth and then captured by Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector (Japan).
