John Ellis got the prestigious “Julius Wess Award”
On 10 December 2009
John Ellis, a member of our Scientific Committee, was
awarded by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology the prestigious "Julius
Wess Award" for outstanding achievements in Elementary Particle and
Astroparticle Physics. John's work covers a very broad spectrum of
theoretical particle physics. In particular, he has often been able to
suggest what type of experiments would prove theoretical expectations. A
memorable example was the the discovery of the gluon in the 70's, and he
now concentrates on experiments at the LHC, particularly on searches for
the Higgs boson and supersymmetric particles. As Adviser to the
Director-General of CERN, he is responsible for relations between CERN and
Non-Member States, which is particularly relevant to the goals of
"Scientific Dialogue" of our Foundation.
