Michel Della Negra
Michel Della Negra (* 1942 ) is a French experimental particle physicist .
Della Negra studied mathematics and theoretical physics in Paris and received her doctorate there in 1967. He then continued his research in Paris and from 1970 at the SLAC in Stanford. As early as the 1970s he was involved in experiments on intersecting storage rings at CERN , of which he has been a member of the staff since 1973 . In the 1980s he was involved in the UA 1 experiments that led to the discovery of the W boson and Z boson in 1983 (lead by Carlo Rubbia ). From the initiation in 1992 to 2007 he was the first speaker of the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider , with the ATLAS detector one of the two large particle detectors at the LHC, with which the discovery of a particle compatible with the Higgs boson succeeded in 2012 . Development for CMS began in the early 1990s, in which Della Negra and Tejinder Virdee (CMS spokesman from 2007 to 2009) played a key role. Both are at Imperial College London .
