Biography

Raymond Stora is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist; BRST symmetry in gauge theories

How & why

Stora, a French theoretical physicist, is remembered above all for the BRST symmetry (with Carlo Becchi and Alain Rouet), a rigorous mathematical procedure for quantising the non-abelian gauge theories at the heart of the Standard Model of particle physics. For this he shared the 2009 Heineman Prize. Wikipedia records him among Jewish French scientists.
