    Probir Roy (born 4 October 1942) is an Indian particle physicist and a former professor at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. He is also a senior scientist of the Indian National Science Academy at Bose Institute and a former Raja Ramanna fellow of Department of Atomic Energy at Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics.

    Known for the development of a sum rule on two-photon processes, Roy is an elected fellow of all the three major Indian science academies – Indian Academy of Sciences, Indian National Science Academy and National Academy of Sciences, India – as well as of the American Physical Society. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded Roy the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, for his contributions to physical sciences in 1987.[1][note 1]

    Biography

    Bose Institute, Kolkata
    King's College, Cambridge

    Born on 4 October 1942 into a Bengali

    Nobel Prize for physics in 1982,[4] and Toichiro Kinoshita, an APS fellow,[5] simultaneously serving the University as an instructor. Before returning to India in 1972, he had a one-year spell at CERN during 1971–72 as a visiting scientist.[6]

    Roy's career at

    University of Hawaii at Manoa, University of Helsinki and Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.[3]

    Roy is married to Manashi Bhattacharya and the couple has two children, Jagori and Analabha.

    Salt Lake, a satellite city of Kolkata, West Bengal.[8]

    Legacy

    Photon-photon scattering (a Feynman diagram)

    Roy's work in

    neutrinos and Higgs mesons which covered the detection of heavy neutrinos, ultralight neutrinos in super-symmetry, oscillations and flavours, and his studies on neutrino detection helped India-based Neutrino Observatory in blueprinting the proposed detector at the observatory.[3]

    Roy's studies have been documented by way of a number of articles

    S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences in 2004,[25] Measuring the deviation from maximal mixing of atmospheric neutrinos at INO, at PANIC 05 in Santa Fe, New Mexico,[26] Event-shape of dileptons plus missing energy at a linear collider as a SUSY/ADD discriminant at Indian Institute of Science in 2006,[27] Symmetries of nonhierarchical neutrinos from high to low scales at IWTHEP-2007,[28] and Dark Energy of the Universe at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune in 2015.[29]

    Roy is one among the Indian participants in the Oxford-India Network in Theoretical Physical Sciences, an initiative promoted by the John Fell Fund.

    S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences from 1997 to 2002 and in the editorial boards of Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Physics, Pramana and Indian Journal of Physics during various terms. He also served as the vice-president of the Indian Physical Society in 1996 and presided the society in 2002.[2]

    Awards and honours

    During his college days at King's College, Cambridge, Roy received three honours from the institution; Powel Prize for the best student in natural sciences (1964), senior scholarship (1964) and honorary scholarship (1965).

    Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards in 1987.[31] The Indian Academy of Sciences elected him as a fellow in 1989[32] and he became a fellow of the Indian National Science Academy in 1992.[33] Two years later, INSA selected him for the exchange fellowship between the academy of the Royal Society and the American Physical Society elected him as a fellow in 1995.[3] He delivered the Meghnad Saha award oration of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science in 1997 and received the elected fellowship of the National Academy of Sciences, India in 2001.[34]
