| Popis: | On 13 August 1989, close to midnight, the electron and positron beams in LEP, the largest research device ever built, collided for the first time. Only ten minutes later the control-room telephone rang and one of the four experiments announced the detection of the first Z-event. This was the culmination of a project that had started 14 years ago had been brought to a full success thanks to the devotion and enthusiasm of physicist, engineers, technicians and administrators. The development of our field is so breath-taking that events of 10 years ago already are almost forgotten. Not only for the historical record but also for future projects it may be useful to report some of the experiences which were encountered during the realization of LEP. |
