Abstract
The objective of this interview is to study the history of the Large Hadron Collider in the LEP tunnel at CERN, from first ideas to the discovery of the Brout–Englert–Higgs boson, seen from the point of view of a member of CERN scientific committees, of the CERN Council and a former Director General of CERN in the years of machine construction.
The text presented here has been revised by the authors based on the original oral history interview conducted by Luisa Bonolis and recorded in Rome, Italy, 1–3 March 2016.
