James Watson Cronin (1931-2016) was an American particle physicist. With Val Fitch, he was awarded the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physics for a 1964 experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory that proved certain subatomic reactions involving kaon decay do not respect fundamental symmetry principles, establishing what is known as CP violation.
