Koshiba Prize
Academic award of Japan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Koshiba Prize (小柴賞, Koshibashō) is an academic prize meant to honor "individuals or a small group of people who have demonstrated outstanding originality and internationally acclaimed achievements in the development of detector technology in the experimental sciences using accelerators."[1] The award was established in 2003 to honor the work of Nobel Laureate Masatoshi Koshiba.[4] Koshiba Prize winners must be under the age of 50,[5] are selected annually and receive a certificate and ¥300,000. The award has been given exclusively to Japanese citizens until 2006, when it was awarded to Kim Sun-kee from Korea.[6]
