Description
Summary:I'd like to thank the organizers for inviting me to embellish this EPS Awards session; and I’d like especially to congratulate the Gargamelle collaboration on their long anticipated, amply deserved recognition. Gargamelle’s discovery of neutral currents was the first great discovery I witnessed occurring in real time, so to speak, as a young graduate student. I remember the widespread skepticism they faced, based on earlier null results and on the difficulty of ruling out backgrounds. They were courageous, and they were right (as all now agree). Their discovery was the first, crucial breakthrough, on the experimental side, toward today’s electroweak standard model. Well done!
