It is generally accepted that the birth of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was in the Lausanne Workshop in 1984 [1], where machine builders and experimentalists first got together to discuss the next big project for CERN. In reality, the seeds were sown much earlier, with the construction of the Intersecting Storage Rings at CERN, followed by the proton–antiproton colliders at CERN and at Fermilab. In this article I try to give a historical perspective on how the LHC came to be, as well as my own account of some of the political, technical and financial challenges that had to be met in order to make it a reality.

Abstract In this work we study the collider phenomenology of color-octet scalars (sgluons) in minimal supersymmetric models endowed with a global continuous R symmetry. We systematically catalog the significant decay channels of scalar and pseudoscalar sgluons and identify novel features that are natural in these models. These include decays in nonstandard diboson channels, such as to a gluon and a photon; three-body decays with considerable branching fractions; and long-lived particles with displaced vertex signatures. We also discuss the single and pair production of these particles and show that they can evade existing constraints from the Large Hadron Collider, to varying extents, in large regions of reasonable parameter space. We find, for instance, that a 725 GeV scalar and a 350 GeV or lighter pseudoscalar can still be accommodated in realistic scenarios.
