High Energy Physics

Okay, I'm a bit over my head here, but I do note that the High Energy Accelerator at CERN, near Lake Geneva, is to be turned on soon.

     I remember discussing CERN back in the 1960's when Ian Mackinlay & Associates were designing the housing for Cornell's Synchrotron, which later became the Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory.

This interior shot of CERN looks very much like the interior of the Wilson Lab tunnel.

Here's Maury Tigner, whom I well remember, in the Wilson tunnel:

I guess all tunnels look about the same.

So when, and if, you read about CERN being the latest and the bestest, please remember that Bob Wilson was doing the early investigations, on a shoestring, 40 years ago.
