The Standard Model transcended

Nature volume 394, pages 13–15 (1998)Cite this article

Prolonged applause met Professor Kajita's presentation last monthFootnote 1 of results from the SuperKamiokande detector1. After decades of ardent searching, marked by numerous false alarms and several tantalizing but precarious hints, a physical phenomenon lying beyond the framework of the Standard Model of physics had been clearly identified. Neutrinos have mass.

Neutrino '98, Takayama, Japan, 4-9 June 1998.
