Nigel Edward William Glover (born 1961) FRS is a British particle physicist, currently Professor of Physics at the University of Durham.[1]

Awards and honours

Glover was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2013. His citation reads:

“ Nigel Glover has made pivotal research contributions to the understanding of data collected at all high-energy particle physics colliders. His theoretical studies of weak boson, Higgs, and particularly jet production are used world-wide. He is especially distinguished for his contributions to the development and exploitation of the perturbative structure of Quantum Chromodynamics, which is vital for precision measurements at the LHC. Glover's numerous technical innovations include the use of helicities for QCD loop amplitudes, the elucidation of the infrared structure of one and two-loop processes, and pioneering work on the second-order perturbative corrections to scattering cross sections.[3] ”
