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." 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.

J. Scott Berg, physicist. His most recent work has been on beam dynamics and lattice design for muon colliders. In particular he has been studying parts of the front end, where the muons are initially captured and formed into a beam; ionization cooling lattices; and acceleration to high energies, with a particular focus on pulsed hybrid synchrotrons. He also has expertise in fixed field alternating gradient accelerators and impedance-driven collective effects.

Holger Witte, assistant physicist. His present research interests are high field magnets for a muon collider. Previously he worked on helical magnets for a combined proton/carbon ion therpay accelerator (PAMELA, sister project of EMMA). Further research interests include accelerator science, magnet technology and pulsed power applications. He holds the record for the generation of very high magnetic fields (65 T) at the Clarendon Laboratory in Oxford, UK.
