Frederick Reines
Frederick Reines was an American physicist. He was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics for his codetection of the neutrino with Clyde Cowan in the neutrino experiment. He may be the only scientist in history so intimately associated with the discovery of an elementary particle and the subsequent thorough investigation of its fundamental properties.
Frederick Reines was born in Paterson, New Jersey, one of four children of Gussie and Israel Reines. His parents were Jewish emigrants from the same town in Russia, but only met in New York City, where they were later married. He had an older sister, Paula, who became a doctor, and two older brothers, David and William, who became lawyers. He said that his early education was strongly influenced by his studious siblings. He was the greatnephew of the Rabbi Yitzchak Yaacov Reines, the founder of Mizrachi, a religious Zionist movement.
