Nobel Laureate in Physics arrives in VietnamJapan professor Takaaki Kajita – Nobel laureate in physics in 2015- arrived in Binh Dinh on July 10 to attend Pascos Conference as part of the 12th ‘Meet Vietnam’ program. The goal of this symposium is to review and discuss recent progress in particle physics, string theory and cosmology. Takaaki Kajita and Canada's Arthur McDonald had been awarded Nobel prize for their key contributions to the experiments which demonstrated that neutrinos change identities. The ongoing 22nd International Symposium on Particles, String and Cosmology (Pascos) conference at the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE) in central Binh Dinh province on July 11-17 draws the participation of two Nobel laureates and 146 scientists across the globe. Following important discoveries made within the last few years, including properties of neutrino mixings, the Higgs particle, and most recently gravitational waves, theorists and experimentalists together discuss what has been learned and what might show up in the next few years.
