Abstract When LEP was conceived, the Standard Model was not a phrase that appeared in the titles of particle physics papers. By the end of LEP1, the Standard Model had been established as the theory describing the visible matter in the Universe. In addition to testing the Standard Model, the accurate measurements at LEP1 enabled predictions to be made for new physics, such as the masses of...

2. CERN’s support for LEP machine and the collaborations during the LEP construction period 1984 to 1989 and preparation for the LEP energy upgrade and for LHC during LEP I operations 1989 to 1994

Abstract With the approval of the LEP programme and of the four LEP experiment proposals, followed by the groundbreaking start of LEP construction during the years 1980 to 1983, the year 1984 saw the closure of the ISR and bubble chamber programmes allowing CERN’s resources to be focussed on the new challenging activities associated with LEP. Based on contributions from colleagues, I will...

1. The Spirit counts - People at and around CERN

Herwig Schopper (CERN)

Abstract After a few biographical remarks I shall concentrate on human aspects which are not covered by official documents, but which are as important to the success of CERN as scientific and technical competence. The approval of LEP, general problems of the project management and the approval of the LEP experiments under conditions never encountered before at CERN will be covered. The...
