Leon Lederman, a pioneering US experimental particle physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the muon neutrino, passed away on 3 October at the age of 96. Lederman's career spanned more than 60 years and brought him to universities and laboratories all over the world, including time at CERN as a visiting scientist. In the 1950s he contributed to two major physics Oct. 3, 2018. Leon Lederman, whose ingenious experiments with particle accelerators deepened science's understanding of the subatomic world, died early Wednesday in Rexburg, Idaho. He was 96 The Nobel Prize in Physics 1988 was awarded jointly to Leon M. Lederman, Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger "for the neutrino beam method and the demonstration of the doublet structure of the leptons through the discovery of the muon neutrino" Leon Max Lederman (July 15, 1922 - October 3, 2018) was an American experimental physicist who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1988, along with Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger, for research on neutrinos.He also received the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1982, along with Martin Lewis Perl, for research on quarks and leptons.Lederman was director emeritus of Fermi National Accelerator It is a sad "day" in science. Dr. Leon Lederman has passed away at the age of 96. Leon was a legend in the world of particle physics. Known perhaps most for coining the phrase " The God Particle muon neutrino. neutrino.
