About R. E. Siday
Lived 1912 – 1956 (aged 43–44). R. E. Siday was a British physicist and mathematician.
Raymond Eldred Siday (1912–1956) was an English mathematician specialising in quantum mechanics. He obtained his BSc in Special Physics and later worked at the University of Edinburgh. He began collaborating with Werner Ehrenberg in 1933.
Raymond Siday is known for the Ehrenberg–Siday effect.
Such effects are predicted to arise from both magnetic fields and electric fields, but the magnetic version has been easier to observe. In general, the consequence of Aharonov–Bohm effects is that knowledge of the classical electromagnetic field acting locally on a particle is not sufficient to predict its quantum-mechanical behavior.
