Timeline

2008

After the LHC start-up in 2008, Chohan led the team responsible for technical coordination at all of CERN's accelerators and beam experimental areas, except for the LHC.

2007

During the LHC construction, he has featured in London Science Museum's Big Bang exhibition in 2007 and in 2008 he was featured in BBC Horizon, a documentary television series.

2002

In 2002, he joined the LHC Project team responsible for developing CERN's new project, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Chohan led and managed the team responsible for testing hundreds of superconducting magnets to be used in the collider. This was a tedious process: 1706 superconducting magnets – each 14 meters long — were to be tested. From the beginning of the testing in 2001 to 2002, only 21 magnets were tested, due to shortage of staff. The situation improved when one started recruiting personnel from India, for a year at the time, as part of the CERN-India Collaboration on LHC. Over 7 years Chohan led this international team which fully tested, qualified and trained up about 1300 superconducting magnets for use in the LHC. Chohan became member of the joint CERN-Department of Atomic Energy, India committee for the CERN-India Collaboration in 2007.

1985

During his tenure at CERN, he was associated with Fermilab for the commissioning of an antiproton source 1985 and 1986 and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory where he collaborated on Proton Storage Ring in 1989. In 1993 he taught a course at the CERN Accelerator School on Accelerator Systems, held at the Centre for Advance Technology, Indore, India.

1983

He held a leading position at CERN's Antiproton Accumulator, a machine that was part of the infrastructure connected to the UA1 and UA2 experiments, where the W and Z bosons were discovered in 1983. Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer received the 1984 Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery. Chohan worked closely with the latter on the antiproton accumulator.

1981

Chohan became member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology in 1981 and became a fellow in November 2013.

1980

In 1980, he returned to CERN as a staff member in the Proton Synchrotron division, under which he later worked with beam diagnostics and safety. During his nearly 40 years at CERN he has held various positions, such as Accelerator Operation Coordinator for the Antiproton Accumulator Complex. This machine created antiprotons for the Super Proton Synchrotron, and was part of the infrastructure that led to the discovery of the W and Z bosons for which Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer received the 1984 Nobel Prize in Physics.

1975

Vinod Chohan joined CERN in January 1975 as a Fellow in the Proton Synchrotron division. From 1977 to 1980 he worked at Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research, in the Beam Dynamics Group of the Cyclotron Accelerator Division.

1949

Vinod Chandrasinh Chohan (1 May 1949 – 12 June 2017) was a Tanzanian-born accelerator specialist and engineer. He was a Senior Staff Member at CERN for nearly 40 years.

Vinod Chohan was born in Dar es Salaam, Tanganyika on 1 May 1949 into a Saurashtran Gujarati Indo-Tanzanian Hindu family. He commenced his secondary education at Govt Indian Secondary School, later called Azania Secondary School in Upanga, Tanzania, and in 1967, moved to Colston's School in Bristol. Chohan studied electrical and electronic engineering at University College, Cardiff, and obtained his PhD at University of Essex in 1974.
