Nishinomiya Yukawa Prize
The Nishinomiya Yukawa Prize ( Japanese 西宮 湯 川 記念 賞 , Nishinomiya Yukawa Kinenshō ) is an annual award for theoretical physics in Japan that is awarded to young physicists younger than 40 years of age for merits in research. The prize is named after the Japanese physicist Yukawa Hideki , who wrote his treatise on the existence of mesons in Kurakuen - a district of Nishinomiya - in 1934 , for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1949 .
