Kobayashi Makoto, (born April 7, 1944, Nagoya, Japan), Japanese scientist who was a corecipient, with Yoichiro Nambu and Maskawa Toshihide, of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Physics. Kobayashi and Maskawa shared half the prize for their discovery of the origin of broken symmetry, which created at least six quarks moments after the big bang.

Makoto Kobayashi Biographical I was born in Nagoya, Japan on April 7, 1944. As it was in the middle of the Second World War, I was evacuated to Kawagoe Village in Mie Prefecture the following year to escape the aerial bombardment over Nagoya. Soon after the war ended, my father passed away.

Makoto Kobayashi (小林 誠, Kobayashi Makoto, born April 7, 1944) is a Japanese physicist. He is known for his work on CP-violation. He won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature." [1]

Makoto Kobayashi is a well known Japanese Physicist for his work regarding CP-violation in particle physics. He was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physics 2008 along with Toshihide Maskawaand Yoichiro Nambu. Kobayashi completed his PhD from Nagoya University (1972).

Makoto Kobayashi, 1944–, Japanese physicist, Ph.D. Kyoto Univ., 1972. Kobayashi taught at Kyoto Univ. (1972–79) and the National Laboratory of High Energy Physics, Tsukuba, Japan (1979–97). He has been a professor at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, Tsukuba, since 1997.

Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa investigated a 6-type model with 6 types of quarks. In this case, the weak-interaction quantum mechanics becomes a theory with 9 parameters, and makes it possible to prove the broken CP symmetry.
