An experimental <condensed matter physicist> who developed <inelastic neutron scattering> as a probe of excitations in matter. Measuring both the energy and direction of scattered <neutrons> reveals energy and momentum transferred to a sample. The method turns lattice vibrations and other collective motions into a measurable excitation spectrum.<Slow Neutron Spectroscopy and the Grand Atlas of the Physical World by Bertram Neville Brockhouse>[Nobel lecture: neutron spectroscopy, energy analysis and collective excitations]{ref}
