Bruno Pontecorvo Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Glasgow University's Guido Pontecorvo Prize for genetics.

The Bruno Pontecorvo Prize (Russian: Премия имени Бруно Понтекорво) is an award for elementary particle physics, established in 1995 by the JINR in Dubna to commemorate Bruno Pontecorvo.[1] The prize is mainly given for neutrino physics, which was Pontecorvo's principal research field, and usually to a single scientist. It is offered internationally every year.
