THE 2005 NOBEL LAUREATES

The 2005 Laureates are 13 in number, including the Peace Prize Winner the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Director General Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei. Together they represent seven nations: Australia, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain, Israel and the United States. The youngest of this year’s Laureates is Barry J. Marshall, 54, and the oldest is Thomas C. Schelling, 84. Below are brief presentations of the Laureates being awarded in Stockholm on the Nobel Day December 10, 2005.

Since 1901, 776 individuals and organizations have received a Nobel Prize or Bank of Sweden (Riksbank) Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

As in prior years, the Laureates may invite their significant other plus an official party of 16 people to the Nobel Week in Stockholm.

The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded with one half to Roy Glauber “for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence” and one half jointly to John Hall and Theodor Hänsch “for their contributions to the development of laser-based precision spectroscopy, including the optical frequency comb technique.”

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists in the field of optics. Roy Glauber is being rewarded for his theoretical description of the behavior of light particles, while John Hall and Theodor Hänsch are being rewarded for their development of laser-based precision spectroscopy, that is, the determination of the color of the light of atoms and molecules with extreme precision. Their research has made it possible to measure frequencies with an accuracy of fifteen digits. Lasers with extremely sharp colours can now be constructed and with the frequency comb technique precise readings can be made of light of all colours. This technique makes it possible to carry out studies of, for example, the stability of the constants of nature over time and to develop extremely accurate clocks and improved GPS technology.

Roy J. Glauber, born in 1925 (80 years) in New York, NY, U.S.A (U.S. citizen). Ph.D. in physics in 1949 from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, U.S.A. Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics at Harvard University, U.S.A.

Professor Roy J. Glauber is arriving in Stockholm on December 5, accompanied by Atholie Rosett. Arriving in the following days will be the Laureate’s daughter Valerie Fleishman with her husband, as well as son Jeffrey Glauber with his wife and three children aged 3, 6 and 9. The Laureate’s party also includes his colleagues Prof. Dr. Fritz Haake of the University of Essen, Germany; and Prof. Dr Per Osland of the University of Bergen, Norway.

John L. Hall, born in 1934 (71 years) in Denver, CO, U.S.A. (U.S. citizen). Ph.D. in physics in 1961 from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, PA, U.S.A. Senior Scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Fellow, JILA, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, U.S.A.

Dr. John L. Hall already arrived on December 2 together with his wife Lindy, a teacher by profession. The party includes the Laureate’s three children: Thomas with his wife and three children aged 2, 5 and 7 as well as Jonathan L. and Carolyn G. Hall. Among the many colleagues in the Laureate’s party are Dr. Jun Ye and Professors Christian J. Bordé, Long-Sheng Ma and Hiroshi Takuma.

Theodor W. Hänsch, born in 1941 (64 years) in Heidelberg, Germany (German citizen). Ph.D. in physics in 1969 from the University of Heidelberg. Director, Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching and Professor of Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, Germany.

Professor Theodor W. Hänsch is arriving in Stockholm on December 5 accompanied by Leota Wear, who is a teacher. The party includes the Laureate’s brother Julius Hänsch and Steven Chu (Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1997) with his wife Jean. Among many colleagues in the party are Dr. Ronald Holzwarth, co-founder of Menlo Systems GmbH; as well as Professors Massimo Inguscio, University of Florence, Italy, and Peter Toschek, University of Hamburg, Germany.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded jointly to Yves Chauvin, Robert H. Grubbs and Richard R. Schrock “for the development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis.”

This Year’s Nobel Laureates in Chemistry have made metathesis into one of organic chemistry’s most important reactions. This has created fantastic opportunities for producing many new molecules, for example pharmaceuticals. Imagination will soon be the only limit to what molecules can be built. In 1971 Yves Chauvin was able to explain in detail how metathesis reactions function and what metal compounds act as catalysts in the reactions. Now the “recipe” was known. The next step was, if possible, to develop the actual catalysts. Richard Schrock was the first to produce an efficient metal-compound catalyst for metathesis. This was in 1990. Two years later Robert Grubbs developed an even better catalyst that is stable in air that has found many applications. Metathesis is used daily in the chemical industry, mainly in the development of pharmaceuticals and advanced plastic materials.

Yves Chauvin, born in 1930 (75 years), French citizen. Honorary Director of Research at the Institut Français du Pétrole, Rueil-Malmaison, France.

Dr. Yves Chauvin is arriving in Stockholm on December 5. In his party are sons Frédéric Chauvin and Professor Remi Chauvin, the latter with his wife and two children aged 13 and 18.

Nancy and her two brothers David and Sean Carlson, who will also attend, are as the last name Carlson reveals of Swedish descent and have a number of relatives living in Sweden.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to Barry J. Marshall and J. Robin Warren for their discovery of “the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.”

This year’s Laureates in Physiology or Medicine are being rewarded for having made the remarkable and unexpected discovery that inflammation in the mucosa of the stomach(gastritis) as well as ulceration of the stomach or duodenum (peptic ulcer disease) is theresult of an infection of the stomach caused by the bacterium Heliobacter pylori. Thanks to the pioneering discovery by Marshall and Warren, peptic ulcer disease is no longer a chronic,frequently disabling condition, but a disease that can be cured by a short regimen ofantibiotics and acid secretion inhibitors.

Barry J. Marshall, born in 1951 (54 years) in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (Australiancitizen). NHMRC Helicobacter pylori Research Laboratory, QEII Medical Centre;University of Western Australia, Nedlands, Australia.

J. Robin Warren, born in 1937 (68 years) in Adelaide, South Australia (Australian citizen).

Dr. J. Robin Warren is arriving in Stockholm on December 5 together with his daughter-in-law Mari Warren. His party includes many colleagues, among them Professor Pentti Sipponen, Chief of the Department of Pathology at Helsinki District University Hospital; Prof. Dr. Manfred Stolte and Professor David Y. Graham, both pathologists; and Dr. Hansjörg Meyer.

The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2005 has been awarded to the English writer Harold Pinter, “who in his plays uncovers the precipice under everyday prattle and forces entry into oppression’s closed rooms.”

Pinter restored theater to its basic elements: an enclosed space and unpredictable dialogue, where people are at the mercy of each other and pretense crumbles. With a minimum of plot, drama emerges from the power struggle and hide-and-seek of interlocution. Pinter’s drama was first perceived as a variation of absurd theater, but has later more aptly been characterized as “comedy of menace,” a genre where the writer allows us to eavesdrop on the play of domination and submission hidden in the most mundane of conversations. In a typical Pinter play, we meet people defending themselves against intrusion or their own impulses by entrenching themselves in a reduced and controlled existence. Another principal theme is the volatility and elusiveness of the past.

Pinter made his playwriting debut in 1957 with The Room, presented in Bristol. Other early plays were The Birthday Party (1957), at first a fiasco of legendary dimensions but later one of his most performed plays, and The Dumb Waiter (1957). His conclusive breakthrough came with The Caretaker (1959), followed by The Homecoming (1964) and other plays. Harold Pinter is generally seen as the foremost representative of British drama in the second half of the 20th century. His position as a modern classic is illustrated by the fact that his name has entered the English language as an adjective used to describe a particular atmosphere and environment in drama: “Pinteresque”.

Harold Pinter was born in 1930 (75 years) in London, England (British citizen).

For reasons of health, Mr. Pinter will not attend the Nobel Week in Stockholm. Attending the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony will be Stephen Page, Harold Pinter’s publisher and Chief Executive of Faber & Faber in London. Mr. Page will accept the Nobel medal and the Nobel diploma on behalf of the Laureate in Literature.

The Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel has been awarded jointly to Robert Aumann and Thomas Schelling “for having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis.”Why do some groups of individuals, organizations and countries succeed in promoting cooperation while others suffer from conflict? The work of Robert Aumann and Thomas Schelling has established game theory or interactive decision theory as the dominant approach to this age-old question.

Robert J. Aumann, born in 1930 (75 years) in Frankfurt, German (Israeli and U.S. citizen). Ph.D. in mathematics in 1955 from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, U.S.A. Professor at the Center for Rationality, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

Professor Robert J. Aumann is arriving on December 5 together with his wife Batya. He will have a large family with him in Stockholm consisting of five children with their significantothers and a total of 21 grandchildren and great grandchildren. Not all will attend the Nobel Festival on December 10, but the whole family will be gathered in Stockholm. The party also includes the Laureate’s brother Moshe Aumann as well as colleagues Professors Michael Mashler, Ehud Kalai and Abraham Neyman.

Thomas C. Schelling, born in 1921 (84 years) in Oakland, CA, U.S.A. (U.S. citizen). Ph.D. in economics in 1951 from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, U.S.A. Distinguished University Professor Emeritus at the Department of Economics and School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, U.S.A. and Lucius N. Littauer Professor Emeritus of Political Economy at Harvard University.

Professor Thomas C. Schelling is arriving in Stockholm on December 4 together with his wife Alice Coleman Schelling on December 4. His party will consist exclusively of family members. Among these are the Laureate’s four sons Professor Andrew C. Schelling, Thomas A. Schelling, Dr. Daniel D. Schelling and Robert J. Schelling, all attending with their significant others and the Laureate’s nine grandchildren.

THE 2005 NOBEL WEEK

The Nobel Week begins with a visit to the Nobel Museum on Stortorget, the main square in Stockholm’s Old Town. Here this year’s Laureates and their families will be welcomed to an eventful week in Stockholm and also meet as a group for the first time. In the exhibition Cultures of Creativity, they will encounter many of the earlier Laureates. They will also encounter themselves in the display cases presenting the 2005 Nobel Prizes and the Prize in Economics. The films in the museum’s screening rooms portray Laureates and the creative environments in which they have worked. This year’s Laureates can also view the popular exhibition on Albert Einstein, whose research laid part of the groundwork for the 2005 Prize in Physics.

The children in the Laureates’ families, like other groups of children who visit the Museum daily, can try out some bubbling and perhaps crackling experiments. The visit to the Nobel Museum will end with Laureates autographing chairs at Kafé Satir, as many of their predecessors have done.

Press conferences The press conferences for this year’s Laureates in Physics and Chemistry and the Prize Winners in Economics will be held at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,

Taping of TV program Nobel MindsSince the 1960s, during the Nobel Week the Laureates have gathered for a round-table discussion for television, Nobel Minds. The program has a popular science touch and examines general questions related to science and research. For many years, the program was hosted by Swedish TV legend Bengt Feldreich. Today it is moderated by veteran BBC World news anchor Nik Gowing.

Viewers have the opportunity to ask the Laureates questions in advance via the Nobel Foundation’s official web site, Nobelprize.org (http://nobelprize.org).

The program will be videotaped on December 9 at the Bernadotte Library in the Royal Palace in Stockholm and is a co-production of Nobel Media AB, Sveriges Television and BBC World.

Interviews for Nobelprize.org In recent years, the Nobel Foundation has videotaped interviews with the Laureates and Prize Winners in each respective field for its official web site, Nobelprize.org. Here they usually tell about their background, their scientific or literary work and the discoveries or achievements they have been rewarded for. They also frequently touch upon issues related to science and culture in general. This year the interviews with the Laureates in Physics and Chemistry will be conducted by Joanna Rose, except for Yves Chauvin who will be interviewed by Nathalie Kirchmeyer. The interview with the Laureates in Physiology or Medicine and the Prize Winners in Economics will be done by Rupini Bergström.

The interviews will be videotaped during the Nobel Week and posted on Nobelprize.orgshortly thereafter. Today there are more than 130 interviews with Nobel Laureates and Prize Winners in Economics available on the web site.

The Nobel Prize Award Ceremonies in Oslo and Stockholm will be broadcast live on Nobelprize.org, starting at 1:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., respectively, on December 10. The presentation speeches at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremonies will be posted in their entirety at the same times, and the menu from the Nobel Banquet at Stockholm City Hall will be published at 7:00 p.m. The speeches of thanks to be held by the Laureates during the Banquet will be posted later that evening.

As in prior years, the Nobel Lectures in Physics, Chemistry and Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace as well as the Prize Lectures in Economics will be available in video-on-demand format a few days after they are held.

THE NOBEL PRIZE AWARD CEREMONY IN STOCKHOLM The programme and seating plan is enclosed

The celebration of the Nobel Day on December 10 will begin with the traditional Nobel Prize Award Ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall. Here the year’s prizes will be presented to some 1,600 guests, who then watch the Laureates as they respectfully receive their medals and diploma one by one from the hand of H.M. the King of Sweden. The seats closest to the stage are reserved primarily for the Laureates’ families, representatives

8

of the prize-awarding institutions, members of the Swedish government and Riksdag (Parliament) and the diplomatic corps.

Seated on the stage will be some 90 members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Nobel Assembly of Karolinska Institutet and the Swedish Academy. Also seated here will be the Board of Directors of the Nobel Foundation and previous Laureates. In front of them will sit the 2005 Laureates and Their Royal Majesties the King and Queen of Sweden, Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Victoria, His Royal Highness Prince Carl Philip, Her Royal Highness Princess Madeleine and Her Royal Highness Princess Lilian.

Presentation speechesThe Chairman of the Board of the Nobel Foundation, MD h.c. Marcus Storch, will hold an opening address and after that the year’s Nobel Laureates and the Prize Winners in Economics will be presented.

The presentation speeches will be held by: Professor Stig Stenholm, Physics Professor Per Ahlberg, Chemistry Professor Staffan Normark, Physiology or MedicineAuthor Per Wästberg, Literature Professor Jörgen Weibull, Economic Sciences

The formal ceremony will be framed by brief musical interludes and elegant flower arrangements. When Sweden’s National Anthem has been played and the Royal Family has left the stage, family members and colleagues will pour onto the stage to congratulate their Laureates.

This year’s floral decorations In homage to Alfred Nobel, who spent his final years in Sanremo, Italy, where he died on December 10, 1896, every year the City of Sanremo sends flowers to decorate the Concert Hall and the City Hall. This year the Concert Hall will be adorned in winter décor. The stage backdrop will be decorated with silver fir, eucalyptus, steel grass and numerous white cut flowers of various kinds. White baby’s breath, roses and white phalenopsis orchids will adorn the orchestra area and the front of the stage. The Concert Hall will be decorated with about 10,000 white flowers. In charge of the arrangements is florist Helén Magnusson of Hässelby Blommor.

Musical interludesThe Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Danish-Italian conductor Giordano Bellincampi will perform the music during the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony. In addition, acclaimed Swedish-American soprano soloist Erika Sunnegårdh will perform Quando m’en vo’ soletta, Musetta’s Waltz from La Bohème by Puccini and Anch’io dischiuso from Nabucco by Verdi.

THE NOBEL BANQUET IN STOCKHOLM Programme is enclosed

After the ceremony comes the evening’s Nobel Banquet at the Stockholm City Hall. Upon their arrival in the December darkness, the guests will encounter an illuminated City Hall and once inside the Blue Hall, the glittering Nobel tableware, lighted candles and ingenious floral arrangements.

The Banquet programme will follow tradition and begin with the entry procession of the Royal Family and other guests of honor down the grand stairway and into the Blue Hall at 7:00 p.m. Prior to this, the guests of honor will have been presented to the King and Queen in the Prince’s Gallery of the City Hall.

Behind the Master of Ceremonies will be two female attendants followed by H.M. the King with his dinner companion Mrs. Atholie Rosett and H.M. the Queen with MD h.c. Marcus Storch, Chairman of the Board of the Nobel Foundation and the host of the evening’s Banquet. After a fanfare by two trumpeters, father and son Olle and Mikael Hermansen, the procession will be accompanied by a march played on the organ by Mats Ericson.

In 1901 the first Nobel Banquet, held in the Hall of Mirrors of the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, had 113 male guests. Today’s Nobel Banquet is served to about 1,300 guests, of whom about 200 are students.

Menu and tableware After the ceremony comes the evening’s Nobel Banquet at the Stockholm City Hall. This year’s chefs are freelancer Markus Aujalay, Torsten Kjörling of Hotel Tylösand and Håkan Thörnström of the Gothenburg restaurant Thörnströms Kök. In charge of dessert, in co-operation with Dessertakademien, are Magnus Johansson of KonditorSpecialistenand Ted Johansson of Lux Dessertchoklad. In the process of composing the menu, the chefs have worked together with a reference group consisting of chefs Gert Klötzke, Björn Halling and Fredrik Eriksson, who reveal that this year’s concept is characterized by Nordic winds. According to Fredrik Eriksson, the aim is for Banquet guests to experience the best that Swedish and Nordic cuisine has to offer.

A number of menus were taste-tested during the autumn, with one being chosen and refined, then paired with suitable wines. In keeping with tradition, the menu will be secret until the Banquet has begun at 7:00 p.m.

In charge of ensuring that all parts of the meal are coordinated are Ulf Östenius, General Manager of the City Hall’s Stadshuskällaren restaurant, and Gunnar Eriksson, the restaurant’s Chef de Cuisine. Those who will be working with the Banquet meal during the evening will include more than 20 chefs and 200 servers.

The tables will be set with the Nobel tableware created for the 90th anniversary of the Nobel Prize in 1991 by three Swedish designers, Karin Björquist (Rörstrand/Gustavsberg), Gunnar Cyrén (Orrefors) and Ingrid Dessau (Klässbols Linneväveri). The 61 tables in the Blue Hall will be covered with some 470 meters of

10

linen cloth, and the meticulous table setting will comprise no fewer than approximately 7,000 porcelain pieces, 5,000 glasses and 10,000 items of silverware.

Before dessert, as well as earlier during the evening, a “Divertissement” will be presented, created by Carina Reich and Bogdan Szyber. As usual, the content will be kept secret until the Banquet has begun. What can be revealed is that the Allmänna Sången Choir from Uppsala will perform, led by conductor Cecilia Rydinger Alin. This year the choir is celebrating its 175th anniversary. It is Scandinavia’s oldest university choir.

After the coffee and liqueurs are served, students will assemble with massed standards on the grand stairway and the balustrade above the Blue Hall. Colleges and universities from all parts of Sweden will be represented among the massed standards.

Speeches of thanks Laureates will then hold speeches of thanks after being introduced by the evening’s Toastmaster, Elin Andersson. Only one Laureate from each prize category will speak, in the following order: Physiology or Medicine Professor Barry J. Marshall Chemistry Dr. Robert H. Grubbs Physics Professor Roy J. Glauber Economic Sciences Professor Robert J. Aumann

The Banquet concludes at approximately 10:30 p.m. Dancing will then begin upstairs in the Golden Hall, with music by the Phontrattarne orchestra. Phontrattarne is a student orchestra, located in Uppsala, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in the spring of 2006.

During the evening Their Majesties the King and Queen will receive the Laureates and their significant others at the far end of the Prince’s Gallery.

Flowering rooms at the City Hall Nearly 12,000 flowers and 4,000 green leaves and sprigs have been donated by the City of Sanremo for the City Hall decorations. This year the colors that will dominate the arrangements are yellow, white and red. The 25 meter long Table of Honor will display varying décor, colors and shapes that will create a diverse landscape. In the Prince’s Gallery, garlands of flowers will hang by the mirror console tables and on the tall floor candlesticks. A flower-bedecked trellis will mark the boundary for guests of honor. The stairway in the Blue Hall will feature unusually rich décor this year. The arrangements will include lilies, roses, calla lilies, baby’s breath, freesia, scarlet plume and amaryllis.

Gunnar Kaj is in charge of the floral decorations for the sixth year, assisted by 30 florists, carpenters and students from the florist training program at the Komvux adult school in Upplands-Bro.

Diploma artistsIn the Prince’s Gallery, the Nobel diplomas and medals will be shown in display cases during the evening. Karin Mamma Andersson has created the artwork on the diploma for the Laureate in Literature; Ingegerd Möller the artwork on the diplomas for the Laureates in

11

Physics; Jordi Arkö the artwork on the diplomas for the Laureates in Chemistry; and Ulla Kraitz, who is making her debut this year as a diploma artist, is creating the artwork on the diplomas for the Prize Winners in Economics. Annika Rücker is responsible for the calligraphy on all these diplomas.

The diplomas for the Laureates in Physiology or Medicine portray the Nobel medal, with calligraphy by Susan Duvnäs. In charge of binding the diplomas is Ingemar Dackéus at Knut Hässlers Bokbinderi. The medals were made at the Royal Mint and their cases are handcrafted by Anders Eriksson’s atelier.

Previous LaureatesPrevious Laureates from abroad attending the year’s Festival are Steven Chu (Physics, 1997), Peter Agre (Chemistry, 2003), Louis J. Ignarro (Physiology or Medicine, 1998) and A. Michael Spence (Economic Sciences, 2001). The only previous Swedish Laureate who will attend is Professor Bengt Samuelsson (Physiology or Medicine, 1982).

Other guests Attending as representatives of the Swedish government and Riksdag are Prime Minister Göran Persson, Foreign Minister Laila Freivalds and the Minister for Education and Culture, Leif Pagrotsky. This year a number of ministers in the fields of education and science from France, India, Japan and Pakistan will also attend.

Swedish participants are people who perform Nobel-related tasks in one capacity or another or who support the sciences through donations or other work on behalf of the Foundation and the prize-awarding institutions.

The Federation of Young Scientists, with support from the Nobel Foundation, organizes its Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar (SIYSS), which is being attended by 30 young people from several different countries.

Nobel Prize Award Ceremony and Banquet to be broadcast live on SVT Beginning in 2004, the rights to the live broadcasts of the Nobel Day on Sveriges Television (SVT) have been held by Nobel Media AB. In addition to live broadcasts from the Concert Hall and the City Hall on December 10, this cooperation has also included producing documentaries about the Laureates in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Economic Sciences, which are being broadcast during the preceding week. Nobel Minds (known in Swedish as Snillen Spekulerar) will also be broadcast on SVT.

THE NOBEL WEEK CONCLUDES

Peace Prize Winners visit the Nobel Foundation On December 12, the Laureates will make individual visits to the Nobel Foundation. Here they will retrieve their medals and diplomas, which will have been displayed in the Prince’s Gallery of the City Hall following the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony. At the Nobel Foundation, they will also discuss the details concerning the transfer of their Prize money. The official Nobel Week programme will conclude with this visit to the Nobel Foundation. On the same day, there will also be a reception for all Laureates including the
