Name a Nobel Physics laureate from 1901 through 1905.

Use the eight distinct people awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in the inclusive years 1901–1905. Chemistry awards and later Physics awards do not count. Curie alone is ambiguous.

The first five Physics prize years produced eight laureates because the 1902 and 1903 awards were shared. Both Marie and Pierre Curie count; a surname-only Curie answer cannot distinguish them.
