Type in the content of your new page here...  Leon Lederman is a scientist born in 1922 in New York City and majored in physics. Before he started going to school for physics, he studied chemistry. He was a physics professor at the University of Chicago in 1989. In 1979, he became the director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory where he constructed the first superconducting synchrotron. He helped with the atomic theory by discovering neutrinos which are like electrons but do not have an electric charge. That is what he won the Nobel Peace Prize for, by discovering neutrinos. Is discovery has not been proven incorrect. He was given credit for the discovery of neutrinos. Neutrions are like electrons but do not carry an electric charge. Neutrinos are one of the fundamental particles that are least understood, but they are still a part of the universe and everything in it.

Leon Lederman received many awards; the Wolf Prize, the Ernest O. Lawrence Medal, the National Medal of Science, and the Cresson Medal for physics. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics for the neutrino beam method and for just discovering neutrinos, which are part of something that makes up the universe. The nuetrino beam has been used as a way of analyzing many parts and things of an atom. It is a part of the atomic theory. nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1988/**lederman**-autobio.html - 19k - ed.fnal.gov/samplers/hsphys/people/**lederman**.html - 6k www.ps.uci.edu/~superk/**neutrino**.html - 21k -
