CONSTRUCTION OF THE STANDARD MODEL OF PARTICLE PHYSICS

DEVELOPMENT OF STATE OF THE ART PARTICLE DETECTORS

KEN PEACH

Completed his PhD and a series of Post Doctoral positions at Edinborough University whilst also spending extended extended periods of time at CERN. His early research was focused on K meson decay and his PhD thesis title was: A Study of the charged decays of the K_L). His attention then turned towards CP violation in the K sector and in 2005 he shared the EPS-HEPP Prize as a member of the NA31 Collaboration for showing "for the first time direct CP violation in the decays of neutral K mesons". His research is now concentrating on the medical applications of particle physics with his envolvement in the PAMELA project.
