Physicist Francis Perrin was born in Paris and attended École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

In 1933, in connection with the neutrino, Francis Perrin estimated that "the mass must be null—or at least small compared to the mass of the electron".

With Frédéric Joliot and his group, he established in 1939 the possibility of nuclear chain reactions and nuclear energy production.
