Maskawa Toshihide (born February 7, 1940, Nagoya, Japan—died July 23, 2021, Kyōto) was a Japanese physicist who was a corecipient, with Yoichiro Nambu and Kobayashi Makoto, of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Physics.
Biographical. I was born in 1940 as the second child in a family living in Nagoya, a city with a population of around a million inhabitants. My older sister died of tuberculosis before entering elementary school and so I was an only child until my second sister, who is seven years younger than me, was born after the War.
Aug 10, 2021 · Toshihide Maskawa, a theoretical physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for correctly predicting the existence of three families of fundamental particles called quarks, which helped explain...
Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa investigated a 6-type model with 6 types of quarks. In this case, the weak-interaction quantum mechanics becomes a theory with 9 parameters, and makes it possible to prove the broken CP symmetry.
Toshihide Maskawa delivered his Nobel Lecture on 8 December 2008, at Aula Magna, Stockholm University. He was introduced by Professor Joseph Nordgren, Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics. The lecture was delivered in Japanese.
Jul 30, 2021 · The Japanese Nobel-prize-winning physicist Toshihide Maskawa died on 23 July at the age of 81. Maskawa shared half the 2008 Nobel prize with the Japanese physicist Makoto Kobayashi for their work on the mechanism of “broken symmetry” that led to the prediction of a new family of quarks.

Nov 1, 2021 · Toshihide Maskawa died on 23 July 2021 from gingival cancer at age 81 in Kyoto, Japan. He shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics with Makoto Kobayashi “for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature” and with Yoichiro Nambu, who discovered “the mechanism ...
