(d) "Far from unusual, it was the fourth time Hamamatsu’s sensors had contributed to projects worthy of the most prestigious award in science. The devices -- used by Takaaki Kajita in his 2015 prize-winning analysis of subatomic particles called neutrinos -- also helped confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle, in research that led to the 2013 award.
