Abstract
Looking back at happy events of the past, the temptation is to see them with the magnifying glasses of the “good old times”. In the cases of the discoveries that we celebrate today, I dare say that CERN’s contributions to accelerators and beams were objectively important and even essential. Indeed, it was more than competent mastering of well proven techniques of beam acceleration, beam storing and beam handling. Of course, it needed all this, even brought to extremes, but the additional decisive touch was due to real inventions and to techniques used for the first time.
