2015 Nobel Prize Collection

IOP Publishing congratulates Takaaki Kajita of the University of Tokyo, Kashiwa, Japan and Arthur B. McDonald of Queen's University, Kingston, Canada on becoming the latest Nobel Prize for Physics laureates. The scientists were jointly recognised for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass.

Both laureates have published their research in IOP Publishing's journals. Takaaki Kajita has served for many years as an Editorial Board member on New Journal of Physics, the open access journal jointly owned by the Deutsche Physiks Gesellschaft and the Institute of Physics. He is editing a Focus Issue looking at the current state of neutrino physics.

In recognition of the laureates' achievement, we have put together a collection of papers that are free to read until the end of 2015. Some of these papers were cited in the Nobel Prize scientific background document.

Neutrinos: ghosts of matter
The properties of neutrinos can tell us a lot about the universe.

A fourth type of neutrino
If disappointments continue at the high-energy frontier, you might be hearing a lot more about the sterile neutrino, says Jon Cartwright.

The ghosts of matter weigh in
The 1998 finding that neutrinos have mass laid to rest one of the biggest puzzles in physics.
