Bertram Neville Brockhouse, CC FRSC FRS (July 15, 1918 – October 13, 2003)[1] was a Canadian physicist.

[6][7] From 1950 to 1962, Brockhouse carried out research at Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory.

Brockhouse shared the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics with American Clifford Shull of MIT[8] for developing neutron scattering techniques for studying condensed matter.

In 1999 the Division of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (DCMMP) and the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) created a medal in honour of Brockhouse.

This medal is awarded annually on the basis of outstanding experimental or theoretical contributions to condensed matter physics.
