Kudos also to fellow proposers of the Higgs: Robert Brout (Englert co-author deceased 2011), Gerald S. Guralnik (Brown U.), Carl R. Hagen (U. of Rochester), and T. W. B. Kibble. They could not all be recognized because of the rules on the Nobel Prize.
The American Physical Society (APS) has an announcement that covers the contributions of all as winners of the 2010 APS J. J. Sakurai Prize.
