English physicist (1905–1965)

Louis Harold Gray FRS (10 November 1905 – 9 July 1965) was an English physicist who worked mainly on the effects of radiation on biological systems. He was one of the earliest contributors of the field of radiobiology[6] A summary of his work is given below. Amongst many other achievements, he defined a unit of radiation dosage (absorbed dose) which was later named after him as an SI unit , the gray.[7][8]
