Explanation of institutional affiliations:


CA = Laureate's Current Affiliation, usually a university or a laboratory.
AA = Award Affiliation(s), the institution(s) with which the Laureate was officially associated when s/he did the Nobel award work.
WA = Where the actual Nobel work was performed. Particularly in recent years, work leading to experimental discoveries is often conducted at one of a few large physics laboratories in the world.
CREDITS: The original idea for this page came from Robin Chandler and Patrick Clancey who created the first edition. Much thanks to Georgia Row, Louise Addis, and Kathryn Henniss who patiently assisted the author's learning curve.
