As a part of the celebration of 50 years of the Standard Model of particle physics, I present a brief history of the precision theory of electroweak interactions. I emphasize in particular the theoretical preparations for the LEP program…
Physics Beyond Colliders is an exploratory study aimed at exploiting the full scientific potential of CERN's accelerator complex and its scientific infrastructure in the next two decades through projects complementary to the LHC, HL-LHC and…
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) started its operation in Autumn of 2009. The initial run at a centre-of-mass energy of 900 GeV, has been followed by the on-going run at the energy of…
After a comment on the performance of LEP some highlights of the LEP1 and LEP2 physics programmes are reviewed. The talk concentrates on the precision measurements at the Z resonance, two fermion production above the Z, W+W- production, ZZ…
This is a personal and admittedly US-centric attempt to summarize the foundational impact of the Pisa CDF Group on the conceptual design, construction, and early operation of the CDF Detector at Fermilab. I have tried to go back to original…
This M.Sc. thesis describes a search for exotic leptons. The search has been performed using data from the OPAL detector at the Large Electron Positron collider at CERN. The total integrated luminosity was 663 pb$^{-1}$ with center of mass…
A 100 TeV pp collider is under consideration, by the high-energy physics community, as an important step for the future development of our field, following the completion of the LHC and High-luminosity LHC physics programmes. In particular,…
The object of this interview is the history of the Large Hadron Collider in the LEP tunnel at CERN, from first ideas to the discovery of the Brout-Englert-Higgs boson, seen from the point of view of a member of CERN scientific committees,…
The first Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at sqrts_NN = 5.52 TeV are imminent. Heavy ion collisions at the LHC provide an extended energy lever arm to the existing measurements made at RHIC and SPS, especially in hard…

An overview of more than 25 years of the Tevatron Collider program at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, near Chicago, Illinois, USA, is presented. The physics goals of the program itself, the Tevatron accelerator design…
We show that the accumulated LEP-II data taken at $\sqrt{s} =$ 130 to 206 GeV can establish more restrictive bounds on doubly charged bileptons couplings and masses than any other experiment so far. We also analyze the discovery potential…
We review a subset of experimental results from the heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility at CERN. Excellent consistency is observed across all the experiments at the LHC (at center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV) for…
In five years of operation (1996-2000) the four LEP2 experiments collected roughly 3 fb-1 of data from e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 161 and 207 GeV, yielding a total of about 40000 W-pair events. The analysis of the…
The proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce an intense, high-energy beam of neutrinos of all flavors, collimated in the forward direction. Recently two dedicated neutrino experiments, FASER and SND@LHC, have…
Data from the Large Electron Positron collider (LEP) at CERN on hadron production in gamma-gamma interactions exceed the predictions of the standard model by an order of magnitude at the highest observed transverse momenta in three…
The LHC is not only the most powerful collider built to date but also the source of an intense beam of the most energetic neutrinos ever produced by humankind. After nearly 15 years of LHC operation, these neutrinos have been observed for…
We review the present seach for scalar leptoquarks and the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to unravel the existence of first generation leptoquarks. Talk given by O. J. P. Eboli at the International Workshop on "Physics…
After 20 years of preparation, the dedicated heavy ion experiment ALICE took first data at the CERN LHC accelerator with proton collisions at the end of 2009 and with lead beams at the end of 2010. This article will give a brief overview of…
The physics, and a design, of a Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) are sketched. With high luminosity, 10^{33}cm^{-2}s^{-1}, and high energy, \sqrt{s}=1.4 TeV, such a collider can be built in which a 70 GeV electron (positron) beam in…
