<!--
Perkins was born in 1925 and educated at [[Imperial College London]]. In 1945 he received his B.Sc. and 1948, a Ph.D. From 1949 he worked at [[Bristol University]] and in 1955/56 at the [[Lawrence Radiation Laboratory]] in [[University of California, Berkeley|Berkeley]]. In 1956 he received the post of reader in Bristol University. In 1963/64 he conducted research at [[CERN]]. In 1965 he became Oxford professor of [[elementary particle physics]]. There he built, along with [[Ken W. Allen]], the new Department of Nuclear Physics. In 1976/77 and 1983/84 he returned to CERN.
In 1998 he retired and became Emeritus Fellow of [[St Catherine's College, Oxford|St Catherine's College]], Oxford.
==Achievements==
Perkins' earliest achievements include the discovery of the negative [[pion]] in [[cosmic radiation]]. At Berkeley, he worked with accelerators on [[K-meson]]s and the [[annihilation]] of [[proton]]s and [[antiproton]]s, at CERN in [[neutrino]] scattering experiments.
He made important pioneering discoveries in regard to the [[weak neutral current]] ([[Gargamelle|Gargamelle experiment]]) and the experimental verification of [[quantum chromodynamics]]. In 1982 he explored the possible [[proton decay]], and found a first indication of [[neutrino oscillations]].
In the applied field, he worked on the design of the [[HERA]] storage ring at [[DESY]] in 1961 and worked on [[cancer therapy]] with pions.
Perkins in 1959 published his first textbook, together with [[C. F Powell]], on the theme of the emulsion technique for high beam experiments. His ''Introduction to High Energy Physics'' is a global standard work on particle physics. Most recently he published in 2003 ''Particle Astrophysics''.
==Awards==
Perkins was awarded honorary doctorates in Bristol and the [[University of Sheffield]]. He was elected a [[Fellow of the Royal Society]] in 1966. In 1979 he received the [[Guthrie Medal and Prize]] of the [[Institute of Physics]], in 1992 the [[Holweck Prize]] of the [[Institut Français de Physique]], in
1997, the [[Royal Medal]] of the [[Royal Society]] <ref>{{cite web|url=http://royalsociety.org/page.asp?id=1750|title=Royal Medal Winners: 2007 - 1990|accessdate=2008-12-06}}</ref> and in 2001 the [[High Energy and Particle Physics Prize]] of the [[European Physical Society]]. He gave numerous guest lectures at universities in Toronto, Seattle, Chicago, Hawaii and Victoria and the 2004 Wolfgang Paul Lecture in Bonn.
