Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: The author is Emeritus Professor of Physics in Oxford University. After receiving his first degree and Ph.D. at Imperial College, University of London, he joined Bristol University as G. A. Wills Research Associate, later becoming a lecturer and reader in physics. He spent the year 1955-56 and part of 1961 at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, University of California, and in 1966 became Professor of Elementary Particle Physics at Oxford. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and his awards include the Guthrie Medal of the Institute of Physics, the Holweck Medal of the Société Française de Physique and the Royal Medal of the Royal Society. His early experimental research was in studies of high energy cosmic rays. Later he moved to the field of neutrino physics, where he was involved in the discovery and early studies of neutral weak currents, of the quark substructure of nucleons and of interquark interactions (quantum chromodynamics), using accelerator neutrino beams. Professor Perkins has served on the UK Science and Engineering Research Council, as a member and chairman of the CERN Scientific Policy Committee, and as UK delegate to the CERN Council. He is an author of Study of Elementary Particles by the Photographic Method published by Pergamon Press (with C. F. Powell and P. H. Fowler).
