 Nobel Laureate Frederick Reines
Reines' studies produced a host of fundamental findings and a number of "firsts." These include the detection of neutrinos produced in the atmosphere, the observation of the scattering of electron antineutrinos with electrons, and the detection of both neutral and charged current interactions of electron antineutrinos with deuterons.
A dramatic achievement was the co-discovery of neutrinos emitted from Supernova SN1987A by the IMB (Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven) Collaboration, which demonstrated conclusively the theoretically postulated role of the neutrino in stellar collapse.
The IMB experiment (of which Reines was co-spokesman) used an 8,000-ton water Cerenkov detector in a salt mine near Cleveland, Ohio, to set the best limits on the lifetime of the proton, thus significantly constraining particle theories.

 Frederick Reines and the Neutrino
The award of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics to Frederick Reines provides the ultimate recognition of an extraordinary discovery and an exceptional scientific career in pursuit of fundamental knowledge.
Indeed, several years after the completion of the seminal work of Reines and Cowan, neutrinos were beginning to be used regularly to investigate the weak interactions, the structure of protons and neutrons and the properties of their constituent quarks.
The IMB experiment (of which Reines was initially co-spokesman and later the sole spokesman) used an 8,000 ton water Cerenkov detector in a salt mine near Cleveland, Ohio, to set the best limits on the lifetime of the proton, thus significantly constraining allowed particle theories.

Reines, working with Clyde Cowan (who died in 1974) made the first experimental detection of a neutrino (to be exact, the electron antineutrino), another member of the lepton family.
The existence of neutrinos had been predicted in 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli as a way of accounting for the energy that seemed to be missing from reactions in which neutrons decayed into protons.
In the early 1950s Reines and Cowan successfully sought evidence for the neutrino in an experiment, at a reactor at Savannah River, SC, in which a neutrino interacted with a proton to create a neutron plus a positron.
