He started working on particle physics with the Gargamelle neutrino experiment at CERN in the 1970s. Later, he experimented at the colliders PETRA (DESY, Hamburg Germany), LEP and LHC (CERN, Geneva Switzerland), before turning to astroparticle physics in space. He has been the director of the department for nuclear and particle physics (DPNC) at University of Geneva and head of the physics department. Until his retirement in 2017, he led the Geneva team working on the cosmic ray observatory AMS installed on the International Space Station since 2011. He is the author of a text book on particle physics, as well as the main author of two introductory online courses on the same subject. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44590742110445,"sku":"9780367347239","price":91.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_893572d0-28ad-4f56-bb2c-e9a755a5115a.jpg?v=1702264165","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/particles-fields-space-time-from-thomsons-electron-to-higgs-boson-9780367347239","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
