Frederick Reines (March 16, 1918 to August 26, 1998) was an American physicist. He was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics for his co-detection of the neutrino with Clyde Cowan. He joined the Manhattan Project Los Alamos Laboratory in 1944, and in the early 1950s he and Cowan developed the equipment and procedures with which they first detected the neutrino in June 1956. Reines later worked on the 1987 detection of neutrinos from Supernova SN1987A, which helped open the field of neutrino astronomy.
