Which of these colleagues did not share the Nobel Prize in Physics with Jerome in 1990?

  • Henry Kendall

  • Richard Taylor

  • Leon Cooper

  • None of the above

Answer

The answer is Leon Cooper. In 1990, Jerome Friedman shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Henry Kendall and Richard Taylor for their work on deep inelastic scattering of electrons on protons and bound neutrons, which revealed the presence of quarks inside nucleons. Leon Cooper, although a respected physicist, was not involved in this specific research and therefore did not receive the Nobel Prize in 1990.
