Pontecorvo Prize for Prof. Wojcicki!

For his outstanding contribution to the creation of the MINOS detector, for new results obtained in the field of particle physics and, especially, in the field of neutrino oscillations.

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. 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.
