Pembroke Fellow featured in BBC article on Nobel Prize for Physics

NEWS |

The 2015 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald for groundbreaking research which discovered that neutrinos can switch between different "flavours".

Professor Alfons Weber, Rokos-Clarendon Fellow in Physics at Pembroke, is an expert in this field and has been widely quoted in the media.

He told the BBC: "It should maybe have not been such a big surprise because finding those neutrino transitions was for me something that was in the same category as finding the Higgs boson."

More information about the prize - along with Prof. Weber's comments - can be seen in the following article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-34454831 

Professor Weber will also be speaking at the forthcoming SCR/MCR research symposium on 22nd October.
