Hiroshi Suura (born August 19, 1925, Hiroshima, Japan – September 15, 1998) was a Japanese theoretical physicist, specializing in particle physics.
[1] In the theory of infrared corrections, Suura made important contributions, essential for many precise measurements involving elementary particles, especially electrons.
[3] ... another theme running through Hiroshi’s work and connecting it to the major issues of today’s particle physics is the idea of “particles in loops.” One of his most-quoted results concerns the effect of electron loops in the calculation of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment aμ ...
This leads to a difference between aμ and the corresponding quantity ae for the electron, which was confirmed in beautiful experiments at CERN ... and is still the subject of intense scrutiny ...[3]He was elected in 1967 a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
[4] On June 1, 1994, the University of Minnesota held a colloquium in honor of Hiroshi Suura.
