![Leah Broussard leads a study of neutron decay to understand correlations between electrons and antineutrinos as well as subtle distortions in the electron energy spectrum.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/IMAGE%201_%202018-P08260_0.jpg?h=65b96206&itok=sitguWk-)
Leah Broussard, a physicist at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has so much fun exploring the neutron that she alternates between calling it her “laboratory” and “playground” for understanding the universe. “The neutron is special,” she said of the sub...
