Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 – December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist[2] and arms control expert.[3]
At the time of his death, he was professor emeritus at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Drell was a noted contributor in the fields of quantum electrodynamics and high-energy particle physics. The Drell–Yan process, which was used to discover the Higgs boson, is partially named for him.[2]
