τ轻子的发现和电子反中微子的首次观察──1995年诺贝尔物理奖介绍

Discovery of the τ Lepton and Electron Antineutrino Awarded the 1995 Nobel Physics Prize

美国物理学家马丁·珀尔（Ｍａｒｔｉｎ Ｐｅｒｌ）和弗雷德里克·雷恩斯（Ｆｒｅｄｒｉｃｋ Ｒｅｉｎｅｓ）共同获得了１９９５年诺贝尔物理奖．珀尔及其合作者于７０年代间发现了τ轻子，雷思斯与已故的克拉埃德·考温（Ｃｌｙｄｅ Ｃｏｗａｎ）于５０年代间首次成功地观察到电子反中微子．他们在轻子研究方面的先驱性工作为建立轻子－夸克层次上的物质结构图像作出了重大贡献．

American physicists Martin Perl and Fredrick Reines shared the 1995 Nobel Prize for physics for the discoveries of two of nature's most remarkable subatomic particles. Their pioneering contributions in lepton physics underpinned subsequent developments in es- tablishing the present picture of matter at the lepton-quark level.
