Krige in Nature (Click for full article)

HTS historian Professor John Krige is among those studying the world's largest research collaboration, the 10,000-person Large Hadron Collider project.  "Krige who studied the collaboration structure at CERN before the formation of ATLAS, agrees that there is no simple top-down decision-making at the laboratory. However, he notes that the word "commune" implies that there is little rivalry between the members of the collaboration. By contrast, he says, the collaboration thrives on healthy "organized competition" between subgroups working to build different components for the detector quickly and effectively."
