Alan Martin (physicist) Alan Martin (physicist) Alan Douglas Martin FRS (born 4 December 1937) is a British physicist, currently Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Durham. Martin was educated at the Eltham College. He received his BSc (1958) and PhD (1962) degrees from the University College London. Martin is known for his research in the theory of elementary particles, which includes studies of mesic atoms, kaon physics, pi–pi scattering, hadron spectroscopy and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. His work on the W boson and top quark was used in early collider experiments. His ongoing projects include the determination of
