Canadian and Japanese shared the Nobel Prize in Physics 2015
Two researchers share this year's Nobel Prize for proving that the elusive neutrino particles have mass, announced the awards committee in Stockholm.
The Japanese Brake Qazi and the Canadian Arthur Makntonalt share the prize and the prize money that comes with it "for the discovery of neutrino oscillation, showing that neutrinos have mass," the Committee decided at Karolinska Institute.
Essentially the two researchers showed that neutrinos, elementary subatomic particles that penetrate the Earth in billions without deign interact with normal matter can be changed to "identity" and are transformed from one species to another neutrino. This transformation requires neutrinos to have mass.
The discovery, the Committee notes, creating the first major crack in the so-called Standard Model of particle physics, which had last decades each experimental challenge.
The Standard Model, which describes all the elementary constituents of matter requires neutrinos have no mass. Evidence to the contrary "makes clear that the Standard Model can not be the full theory of operation of the fundamental constituents of the Universe.
The announcement of the Nobel Physics comes a day after Medicine-Physiology. Here the Nobel Chemistry Wednesday, Literature Thursday and Economic Sciences on Monday.
The award ceremony takes place every year on December 10 in a ceremony in Stockholm. Exclude the Nobel Peace Prize awarded in Oslo.
