Advanced Accelerator Group: Personnel

Scientific Staff

Robert Palmer

Robert B. Palmer, physicist, group leader. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and is a fellow in the American Physical Society. He shared the American Physical Society's W.K.H. Panofsky Prize prize in 1993 for the 1962 discovery of the Ω-, and in 1999 received the Wilson Prize for his "diverse contributions and innovations in particle accelerator and detector technologies." He is a member of the executive board for the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration. His current research interests are in 6-D cooling systems for a muon collider and the behavior of high-gradient RF cavities in a magnetic field.

Richard Fernow

Richard Fernow, physicist, deputy group leader. He is the primary author of ICOOL, a program for simulating ionization cooling of muons. He is the chair of the Theory and Simulation Board and a member of the Technical Board for the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration. His current research interest is the design of ionization cooling channels for muon colliders and neutrino factories.

J. Scott Berg

J. Scott Berg, physicist. His current research is focused on the dynamics of non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerators (FFAGs). He is also interested in and has worked on many other aspects of beam dynamics of particle accelerators. He is a key collaborator in the EMMA experiment, a machine for studying beam dynamics in linear non-scaling FFAGs. He is also on the Theory and Simulation Board for the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider collaboration, and is an accelerator convener for the steering group for the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory.
