The Nobel Prize in Physics 2002 was divided, one half jointly to Raymond Davis Jr. and Masatoshi Koshiba "for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, in particular for the detection of cosmic neutrinos" and the other half to Riccardo Giacconi "for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, which have led to the discovery of cosmic X-ray sources"
Masatoshi Koshiba: Science is a special type of recognition and by its nature it is a common asset of the entire human being. Therefore, if I didn’t build the detector and detect super nova neutrinos. Well, a super nova happens every 30 years in the average galaxy but in our own galaxy the previous one was more than 300 years ago.

Koshiba was born in Toyohashi City in central Japan on 19 September 1926. Two years after getting his BS in physics from the University of Tokyo in 1951, Koshiba enrolled in the graduate program at the University of Rochester. He received his PhD in 1955 under the supervision of Morton Kaplon, with a thesis entitled “High energy electron ...
13 de nov. de 2020 · The Japanese physicist Masatoshi Koshiba, who shared 2002 Nobel prize for the detection of cosmic neutrinos, died on 12 November aged 94. One of the founders of neutrino astronomy, Koshiba’s most famous work involved detecting neutrinos from a distant supernova explosion using a vast detector based in a mine in central Japan.
Masatoshi Koshiba. With Raymond Davis and John N. Bahcall, for their work that led to an understanding of neutrino emission from the sun. The groundbreaking work of John Bahcall, Raymond Davis, and Masatoshi Koshiba led to the discovery of solar neutrinos, furthering our understanding of the internal processes of the Sun and stars in general.
Masatoshi Koshiba was born in 1926 in Toyohashi, a city near Nagoya, Japan. His father was an army officer, so when Masatoshi was 13, he had to enter the military school during the war. However, one month before the entrance examination, he got polio, which made his right arm numb, making him exempt from military service during the war.
