Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Professor Emeritus and Nobel laureate Arthur McDonald, representing the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) Collaboration, has received the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. The partnership received the prize at a ceremony and gala on Nov. 8 at the NASA Ames Research Centre in Moffett Field, California.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Our collaboration members are very pleased to receive this testimony to the scientific significance of their work,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. McDonald. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Our findings are a result of many years of hard work starting in 1984, led by George Ewan of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 and Herb Chen of the 카지노게임사이트 of California, Irvine.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The SNO collaboration was selected by the Breakthrough Prize Foundation 카지노 게임 컬렉션for the fundamental discovery of neutrino oscillations, revealing a new frontier beyond, and possibly far beyond, the standard model of particle physics.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Founded by Russian entrepreneur, venture capitalist and physicist Yuri Milner, the in Fundamental Physics recognizes individuals who have made profound contributions to human knowledge. It is open to all physicists 카지노 게임 컬렉션 theoretical, mathematical and experimental 카지노 게임 컬렉션 working on the deepest mysteries of the Universe. The prize is one of three awarded by the Breakthrough Foundation for outstanding contributions in life sciences, fundamental physics, and mathematics.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. McDonald and all of the SNO partners and collaborators on receiving the Breakthrough Prize,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Daniel Woolf, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Principal and Vice-Chancellor. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Dr. McDonald and his team at SNO have made a tremendous contribution to our understanding of the world around us and opened up new possibilities in the study of astrophysics. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 is proud to have supported their groundbreaking research.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The research at the , for which Dr. McDonald also received the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, took place two kilometres underground in Vale카지노 게임 컬렉션s Creighton mine near Sudbury, Ontario. Their findings demonstrated that neutrinos change their type 카지노 게임 컬렉션 or flavour 카지노 게임 컬렉션 on their way to Earth from the sun, a discovery that requires neutrinos to have a mass greater than zero. The results also confirmed the theories of energy generation in the sun with great accuracy.
카지노 게임 컬렉션At Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s we have fostered a culture of research excellence and strongly encourage and support the collaborative efforts of our researchers,카지노 게임 컬렉션 adds Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research). 카지노 게임 컬렉션This prize is truly indicative of how fundamental research can have a transformative impact on how we view the nature of matter and the universe, and the monumental role that university research plays in addressing some of the world's most difficult questions and challenges.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The $3-million prize is shared with four other international experimental collaborations studying neutrino oscillations: The Superkamiokande, Kamland, T2K/K2K and Daya Bay scientific collaborations.
