Three Americans were awarded the Nobel Prize for physics yesterday for experiments that harnessed the ghostly neutrino particle for research and helped physicists draw up the current family tree of elementary particles.

Physicists Leon Lederman, Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger shared the $400,000 prize for work that was conceived at Columbia University and carried out at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island in 1962.

Lederman, 66, is currently the director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory outside Chicago.

Schwartz, 55, runs a computer communications company called ...
