Wolf Prize in Physics[edit]

2004 award that went to Higgs, Brout, and Englert is pretty tainted seeing that it did not include Guralnik, Hagen, and Kibble (GHK) in that award. That GHK team had the most complete solution and 1) showed how the gauge particle got mass, 2) predicted and commented on the existence of the "higgs" field and boson, and 3) showed how Goldstone's theorem is avoided, and 4) had no errors (when dealing with poles for example). The other two did not do all four. All three papers were recognized as milestone papers by PRL’s 50th anniversary celebration. ^[1] Additionally, each of the six physicists were awarded the 2010 J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics for this work. ^[2] Guralnik just wrote a summary of this paper and the history of the discovery. It is a good read if you are interested in the history of the mass boson and the physics in the 1960's. (http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.3466). Nobel Prize will have to figure out how to award to all three groups and six individuals (which is permitted by the Nobel will) or wait (and wait).
