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, 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, 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.
