Raymond Félix Stora (18 September 1930 – 20 July 2015) was a French theoretical physicist. He was a research director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), as well as a member of CERN's theory group. His work focused on particle physics.
Stora studied at the École Polytechnique from 1951 to 1953, and then at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he received a doctorate in 1958 under the supervision of Victor Weisskopf . Stora's most influential contribution to physics was his work with Carlo Becchi and Alain Rouet on a rigorous mathematical procedure for quantizing non-abelian gauge field theories, which dates from the mid 1970s and is now known as BRST quantization.
Stora was elected as a correspondent to the physics section of the French Academy of Sciences in 1994. In 2009, he was awarded the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics.
