Francesco Ruggiero Explained

Francesco Ruggiero (16 August 1957 in Naples, Italy  - 18 January 2007 in Geneva, Switzerland) was an Italian physicist. In 1985, he received his Ph.D. in accelerator physics from the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.^[1]

He participated in the commissioning of Large Electron–Positron Collider, contributed to the Large Hadron Collider design, became the leader of the accelerator group in CERN and finally coordinated the CARE-HHH framework devoted to the LHC upgrade studies (or Super Large Hadron Collider).^[2]

For a long period, he also was associate editor of the prestigious Physical Review Accelerators and Beams journal.^[3]

A memorial symposium dedicated to Ruggiero took place at CERN on 3 October 2007.^[1]
