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]
