European Organization for Nuclear Research. Office of the Director.
CERN Office of the Director records of Carlo Rubbia, 1980-1993.
Documents represent the filing system of Carlo Rubbia during his period as Director-General of CERN. During his tenure the inauguration of LEP (Large Electron Positron) Collider took place; the four LEP experiments (ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL) gave their first important scientific results; and continued development of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) Project culminated in the presentation of the LHC Project and its experimental program to CERN Council in December 1993. The papers include: correspondence, meetings of Directorate, Management Board, official visits, interviews for the CERN post, inaugurations of LEP and Microcosm, Seminars, Conferences, Committees of LHC, ECFA, ICFA, SPSC, notes of meetings.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) was established in Geneva, Switzerland in 1954 to coordinate and perform research on fundamental particles. Carlo Rubbia, an Italian physicist, was a senior physicist at CERN from 1961, and was Director-General from 1989-1993. In 1984 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics, together with Simon van der Meer, for the work he had done as Head of the UA1 Collaboration. From 1970-1988 he spent one semester per year at Harvard University as Higgins Professor of Physics.
