Michel Della Negra (born 1942) 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
Higgs Boson in 2012. As of 2018 he is physicist emeritus of the physics department of CERN, and CMS emeritus at Imperial College London.[1]
Awards
Della Negra shared the 2013 Special
University of Paris-Sud for his "exceptional quality in building experimental devices of great complexity, with a profound understanding of physics".[5] In 2017 he shared the Panofsky Prize in experimental particle physics with Jenni and Virdee.[1]
