The 2000 Wolf Prize for physics has been
awarded to Ray Davies of the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Masatoshi
Koshiba of the University of Tokyo "for their pioneering observations of
astronomical phenomena by detection of neutrinos, which created the emerging
field of *neutrino
astronomy* In 1967, Davis built the first experiment to detect neutrinos produced by the sun, and, in 1998, Koshiba built a much larger detector in Japan which showed that neutrinos have mass. "Their observations of the elusive neutrinos of astrophysical origin have opened a new window of opportunity for the study of astronomical objects, such as the sun and exploding stars, and the study of fundamental properties of matter," said the Wolf jury. |
