BRUCE daRRELL WINSTEIN September 25, 1943–February 28, 2011 Elected to the NAS, 1995 Bruce D. Winstein began his career as an experimental high-energy physicist and became renowned for making the most precise measurements of CP (“charge parity”) violation in the neutral K meson system. His results illu- minated the tiny asymmetry between matter and anti- matter that is essential for the existence of matter in the universe. He was associated with the University of Chicago from 1972 until his death in 2011, first as a senior research associate and finally as the Samuel K. Allison Distinguished Service Professor. Late in his career Winstein became a cosmologist, focusing on the polar- ization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Bringing to cosmology the techniques from By Melvyn J. Shochet high-energy physics, he made highly accurate measure- and Michael S. Turner ments of CMB polarization. Winstein was also instru- mental in establishing the Kavli Institute for Cosmo- logical Physics at the University of Chicago. Outside of physics, he was an avid fan of avant-garde film, twice teaching a course on the films of Michelangelo Antonioni. Early years Bruce was born in Los Angeles, CA, to Saul and Sylvia Winstein. His father was a distinguished physical organic chemist, elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1955 and a faculty member at UCLA from 1941 until his death in 1969.

    Physics 1978 PETER LEONIDOVITCH KAPITZA for his basic inventions and discoveries in the area of low-temperature physics ARNO A PENZIAS and ROBERT W WILSON for their discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation 417 THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR PHYSICS Speech by Professor LAMEK HULTHÉN of the Royal Academy of Sci- ences. Translation from the Swedish text Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and Gentlemen, This year’s prize is shared between Peter Leonidovitj Kapitza, Moscow, “for his basic inventions and discoveries in the area of low-temperature physics” and Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson, Holmdel, New Jersey, USA, “for their discovery of cosmic microwave background radi- ation”. By low temperatures we mean temperatures just above the absolute zero, -273”C, where all heat motion ceases and no gases can exist. It is handy to count degrees from this zero point: “degrees Kelvin” (after the British physicist Lord Kelvin) E.g. 3 K (K = Kelvin) means the same as -270°C. Seventy years ago the Dutch physicist Kamerlingh-Onnes succeeded in liquefying helium, starting a development that revealed many new and unexpected phenomena. In 19 11 he discovered superconductivity in mer- cury: the electric resistance disappeared completely at about 4 K. 1913 Kamerlingh-Onnes received the Nobel prize in physics for his discoveries, and his laboratory in Leiden ranked for many years as the Mekka of low temperature physics, to which also many Swedish scholars went on pilgrim- age. In the late twenties the Leiden workers got a worthy competitor in the young Russian Kapitza, then working with Rutherford in Cambridge, England.
