Who is most respected in particle physics?

In summary: Michael Peskin, also at SLAC-Stanford, is of course well-known too, and of about the right generation.Michael Peskin, also at SLAC-Stanford, is of course well-known too, and of about the right generation.In summary, Lance Dixon is a senior particle physicist who is highly respected and would be a suitable person to write to for a recommendation letter.

I think there is a confusion here between two concepts:

Recommendation letter

versus

Letter of support

It is perfectly fine to get letters of support from someone that do not know you or your work closely, but have read your project/idea and thinks it has merit for financial or other support.

Yes, thank you, C.C. Dantas, for this clarification. Indeed, I have good letters of recommendations from people with whom I work, but here in France I currently work in another field. So what I seek is a word of support of my independent research program. I implied exactly this.

Thanks, MTd2, I know everything about Garrett. I am looking for something different - I've got to win a competition.
