Norman F. (Norm) Berk is a theorist in the Neutron Condensed Matter
Science Group of the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), which carries
out a broad program of neutron scattering research using the NIST
Research Reactor facilities, and develops and applies new techniques
and methods for neutron research. NCNR (formally the Reactor Radiation Division) is located in the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
