Nobel Prize in Physics Awarded for X ray and Neutrino Work
Japanese astrophysicist Riccardo Giacconi and Americans Raymond Davis Jr. with Masatoshi Koshiba split the prize for pioneering cosmic X ray astronomy and neutrino detection. Davis confirmed the sun’s fusion power in early gold mine experiments. Koshiba extended this with Kamiokande, revealing distant supernova neutrinos. Giacconi built the first X ray telescopes guiding black hole and early galaxy studies.
