Robert Brout was a Belgian physicist best known for his work in theoretical physics. He made significant contributions to the field of particle physics, particularly regarding the Higgs mechanism and the unification of fundamental forces. Brout is notably recognized for co-developing the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism along with François Englert and Peter Higgs. This mechanism explains how particles acquire mass through their interaction with the Higgs field, a vital aspect of the Standard Model of particle physics.
