Located at CERN, near Geneva, LEP was built during the years 1983 - 1989, was operational until 2000, and corroborated the standard model of particle physics through continuous high precision measurements. ..The Author, director-general of CERN during the crucial period of the construction of LEP, recounts vividly the convoluted decision-making and technical implementation processes - the tunnel alone being a highly challenging geo- and civil engineering project - and the subsequent extremely fruitful period of scientific research. Finally he describes the difficult decision to close down LEP, at a time when the discovery of the Higgs boson seemed within reach. ..LEP was eventually dismantled in 2000, enabling the tunnel to be reused for building the next generation machine, the much more powerful Large Hadron Collider (LHC), an upgrade then called LEP3 and | | 出版日期 | Book 20091st edition | | 关键词 | CERN; Hadron; Herwig Schopper; LEP; Particle Physics; W boson; Z boson | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-89301-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-662-50145-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-89301-1 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009 |
