Description
I started building particle accelerators in 1969, the year that the first ground-breaking results on deep inelastic scattering were coming out of SLAC. Since then, I have worked on all the great machines that were needed to crack the Standard Model, including the CERN PS, the SPS proton-antiproton collider, the Tevatron, LEP and of course the Large Hadron Collider. I will describe the innovative technologies needed each step of the way, culminating in the discovery of the higgs boson in 2012.
