[PAR] [TLE] 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics [SEP] The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 2011.  One half of it was awarded to Saul Perlmutter, head of the Supernova Cosmology Product at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the other half was awarded to Brian P. Schmidt and Adam G. Riess, both leaders of the High-Z Supernova Team.  Their prize was awarded "for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae." [PAR] [TLE] Saul Perlmutter [SEP] Saul Perlmutter (born September 22, 1959) is a U.S. astrophysicist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley.  He is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2003.  He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences.  Perlmutter shared the 2006 Shaw Prize in Astronomy, the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics, and the 2015 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics with Brian P.
