Robert Brout (/ b r aʊ t /; June 14, 1928 – May 3, 2011) was an American-born Belgian theoretical physicist who made significant contributions in elementary particle physics. He was a professor of physics at Université Libre de Bruxelles where he had created, together with François Englert, the Service de Physique Théorique.
Theorists Robert Brout, François Englert and Peter Higgs proposed that particles aquire mass by interacting with a "Higgs field". In the 1970s, physicists realized that there are very close ties between two of the four fundamental forces – the weak force and the electromagnetic force.

…a collaboration with Belgian physicist Robert Brout. Englert returned to ULB in 1961, becoming a professor there in 1964. With Brout he was codirector of the theoretical physics group at ULB from 1980 to 1998, when he became a professor emeritus. He also held visiting professorships at Tel Aviv University… Read More; Higgs
Robert Brout was an influential theoretical physicist whose work, together with François Englert, was fundamental in developing the mechanism that explains how elementary particles gain mass. Their collaboration was crucial in establishing a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics.

Professor Robert Brout, in collaboration with Professors Francois Englert and Peter W. Higgs, have discovered how mass can be generated for gauge particles in the presence of a local abelian and non-abelian gauge symmetry.
Oct 11, 2013 · The solution formulated by Higgs, Englert, and Robert Brout (who worked with Englert at ULB but is now deceased) proposes that all of space is filled with a field that interacts with the weak force particles to give them mass. It does so because the field is assumed not to be zero in empty space.
To solve this problem, three teams of theorists: Robert Brout and François Englert; Peter Higgs; Gerald Guralnik, Carl Hagen, and Tom Kibble independently proposed a solution now referred to as the Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) mechanism.
Jul 4, 2022 · I’m often asked why it took so long to go from the original papers of Robert Brout and François Englert and of Peter Higgs to the discovery. The answer is an object lesson in how research works.
