It can be said that all the Nobel Prize winners in physics published their papers on PRL.

CCF recommended classification: PR is Grade B; PRL is Class C. Generally speaking, PR is recognized by the industry. After graduating from the doctor's degree, I still have to publish several periodicals such as PR.

Nature of periodical: PR and PRL are a publishing house, but the difference is that PRL was originally designed to publish short and pithy papers, while PR is a complex and long-term paper or article. But gradually PR began to publish short articles.

Steven Weinberg, Arthur Leonard Schawlow, Kip Thorne and so on. Won the Nobel Prize in Physics by publishing it in PRL.

1979 Steven Weinberg shared the nobel prize in physics with glashow and Salam for unifying the unified theory of weak electricity. 1967165438+1On October 20th, Steven Weinberg published an iconic paper, Lepton Model, which pointed out the direction for the development of high-energy particle physics in the second half of the 20th century.

198 1 year, Arthur Leonard Schawlow won the nobel prize in physics, and his main academic field was laser research. Luo Xiao once gave up engineering without a scholarship to study physics, cooperated with Professor Towns at Columbia University, and wrote a paper on laser with Professor Towns at 1958, which was published in PRL.
