Makoto Kobayashi (physicist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Makoto Kobayashi (小林誠) is a Japanese physicist well-known for his work on CP-violation. His article "CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction"[1] (1973) written with Toshihide Maskawa is the third most cited high energy physics paper of all time as of 2006[2]. The CKM Matrix, which defines the mixing parameters between quarks was the result of this work.

The CKM Ansatz postulates the existence of a third generation of quarks, which was experimentally confirmed four years later by the discovery of the bottom quark.
