Why Is Michel Della Negra Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Michel Della Negra is a French experimental particle physicist known for his role in the 2012 discovery of the Higgs Boson. Career Della Negra studied mathematics and theoretical physics for his doctorate at the Laboratory of Nuclear Physics of the College de France in Paris, defending his thesis on the experimental study of proton-antiproton annihilation in 1967. In the 1970s, following post-doctoral work at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in Palo Alto, California, he involved himself on high-energy physics projects at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, where he worked initially as a member of the Intersecting Storage Rings group. In 1977 joined the team led by Carlo Rubbia and played an important role in the 1981 discovery of the W and Z bosons. Della Nigra and his colleague from Imperial College London, Tejinder Singh Virdee, were among the first to envisage a hermetic detector for the large hadron collider based on a strong magnetic field, the compact muon solenoid , and was spokesman for the CMS from 1992 until 2006. Together with evidence from the A Toroidal LHC Apparatus , the CMS experiments were crucial to the discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012. As of 2018 he is physicist emeritus of the physics department of CERN, and CMS emeritus at Imperial College London.
