Charles Peyrou (1918–2003) was a French experimental particle physicist noted for his work at CERN. He studied under Louis Leprince-Ringuet and conducted experiments observing cosmic rays, including building a Wilson chamber in 1938. After WWII, he resumed high-altitude observations, researching strange particles, notably the decay of K-mesons. He served as a lecturer at École Polytechnique and as a professor at the University of Bern while contributing to CERN's establishment. Peyrou led the bubble chamber group and later directed Physics Division II at CERN from 1966 until 1976, impacting various detector developments.
