Sir Michael Brown

Sir Michael Brown is a British physicist renowned for his pioneering work in particle physics. He played a key role in discovering the W and Z bosons—fundamental particles that mediate the weak nuclear force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. These discoveries confirmed important aspects of the Standard Model, our best framework for understanding how particles and forces interact. Brown's work involved designing and conducting high-energy experiments at major laboratories, deepening our comprehension of the universe's fundamental building blocks. His contributions have significantly advanced our knowledge of physics and the fundamental forces governing matter.
