Robert Hanbury Brown is one of Fabrice's (scientific) personal hero. He is mainly known for the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect, which is still a cornerstone of quantum optics, after being its starting point.
His main papers on this topic with Twiss are (note that the opening one is not with Twiss):
He also has a four-part series with Twiss, which I have not studied yet:
A full list of his bibliography is compiled here (by the Royal Society Publishing Organisation [6]).
Two books of a personal character are of special interest: Boffin and There are no dinosaurs in the bible.
