3. 제 목 : The Nobel Prize in Physics  - On Alfred Nobel, his Prize and the Selection  Process

4. Abstract

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in 1866 and later built up companies and laboratories in more than 20 countries all over the world. On November 27, 1895, he signed his last will and testament in Paris. Among its four closely-written pages, less than one referred to the donation which was destined to link his name with the supreme achievements of the modern world in science and literature, and the causes for peace. Nobel"s decision to donate most of his enormous fortune to prizes for outstanding achievements in these areas was at first not very popular, neither among parts of his family nor the Swedish establishment or the institutions who  without having been consulted  he had chosen to select the recipients of the Nobel Prizes. The story of how Nobel"s intentions as expressed in his will was forged into workable statutes for the Nobel Foundations and the Prize awarding institutions the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (physics, chemistry), The Karolinska Institute (medicine or physiology), The Swedish Academy (literature), and the Norwegian Parliament (peace) reads like a thriller. In this lecture I will try to relate parts of this story as well as with an emphasis on the Prize for Physics  give an overview over how Nobel Laureates are chosen today.
