Physics research:
Our current understanding of the Universe is incomplete. Many questions are left unsolved.
Among them, the reason why elementary particles have mass, and why are their masses different is the most perplexing one. The answer may
lie within the Standard Model, in an idea called the Higgs mechanism. The goal of such a research at LHC is the possible discovery of the Higgs
boson. The LHC has made, in summer 2012, the discovery of a Higgs-like particle in ATLAS and CMS experiments, at a mass of about 125 GeV:

1991-1997:
NA50
and NA38
experiments
located at CERN, looking for the Quark Gluon Plasma transition phase
of matter. This work was done in a team at IPN-Lyon,
my recruitment Laboratory. The NA50 work together with other CERN
experiment led to the CERN announcement in Feb 2000 that ANew State of
Matter has been discovered in Pb-Pb collisions.

Before 1990:
I have obtained My
DES
(Maîtrise de
Physique) at Algiers University, Algeria in 1988.
I have obtained my DEA
(Master of Physics)
in 1989 at
Grenoble, Joseph
Fourier University, France and
my PhD
at Joseph-Fourier
Grenoble-1 University in 1990.
My supervisor was Hervé Nifenecker and the subject of the
thesis was: Lifetime of heavy hyper nuclei, study and analysis of
the PS177 CERN/LEAR experiment.
