Bertram N. Brockhouse

1994 Nobel Prize for Physics “for pioneering contributions to the development of neutron scattering techniques for studies of condensed matter“ and “for the development of neutron spectroscopy.”

Canadian physicist who shared the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics with American Clifford Shull for developing neutron scattering techniques. Mr. Brockhouse worked for the Atomic Energy of Canada´s Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory. In 1962, he became a professor at McMaster University in Canada, where he worked until his retirement in 1984. In addition to his Nobel-winning efforts on neutron scattering techniques, Mr. Brockhouse also developed the neutron spectrometer and was among the first to measure the phonon dispersion curve of a solid.

He gave presentations and participated in two IAEA conferences. (b.1918-d.2003).
