Administrative history

In December 1994 CERN's governing body, the Council, officially approved the construction of CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – a technologically challenging super conducting ring, which will be installed in the existing LEP tunnel – to provide proton-proton collisions at energies 10 times greater than any previous machine. One of the fundamental questions it will address is that of the mechanism which gives matter its mass. The LHC will bring protons and ions into head-on collisions at higher energies than ever achieved before, allowing scientists to recreate conditions prevailing just after the "Big-Bang".

LHC Project organisation is managed by the LHC Project Leader, L. Evans (1994- ), supported by the Project Management team and the Project Leader's Office.

In 1990: creation of Accelerator Technology (AT) Division, which with MT (Mechanical Technology), PS and SL Divisions, formed the accelerator sector (AC).

In 1994: AT reported to the newly created Accelerator and Technology Board.

In 1996: creation of LHC Division, mainly from the former AT directed by JP Gourber until 1999 and Ph. Lebrun from 1999.

In 2003, the new Accelerator Technology (AT) Division emerged from the former LHC Dvision in the reorganisation of the Accelerator Sector.
