Nominator's project description

Dr. Graham Blair is one of the most outstanding physicists preparing the scientific programme of a future electron-positron linear collider at TESLA in Hamburg. In close collaboration with experimentalists at DESY his working has been the physics base of the collision zone. Moreover, together with theory colleagues he has been analysing opportunities at such a facility to get access to experimental tests of supersymmetry and superstring theories which promise the ultimate unification of gravity with the standard fundamental forces.
