Notes

  1. Lee and Yang Nobel citation: “for their penetrating investigation of the so-called parity laws which has led to important discoveries regarding the elementary particles.”

  2. Wigner Nobel citation: “for his contributions to the theory of the atomic nucleus and the elementary particles, particularly through the discovery and application of fundamental symmetry principles.”

  3. Fitch and Cronin Nobel citation: “for the discovery of violations of fundamental symmetry principles in the decay of neutral K-mesons.”
