Jean-Pierre Martin
Computer Applications in Nuclear and Plasma Sciences
Jean-Pierre Martin obtained his Ph.D. in experimental
nuclear physics in 1971, at the University of Montreal. He then
worked for the University of Montreal with the responsibility of
maintaining and developing the data acquisition system at the Nuclear
Physics Laboratory. During that period, in the very early days of
the CAMAC standard he, amongst other things, designed CAMAC branch
drivers for the Laboratory. In the mid-1970s, he worked at the TRIUMF
facility on rare pion decay experiments, here again contributing
to the development of detectors (TPC) and DAQ systems.
In the early 1980s, he was involved in the design of the DAQ system
for a gamma spectrometer facility (called the “8Pi” detector)
installed at the A.E.C.L. Laboratory at Chalk River and during the
same period was involved in a regional electron accelerator project
and spent some time working on beam transport issues for the Mainz
electron microtron project.
At the end of the 1980s, Jean-Pierre worked at CERN commissioning
the “ZED chambers” DAQ system for the OPAL collaboration,
and thereafter kept it operational until the final LEP shutdown.
In the 1990s, he was involved in a succession of unrelated projects,
designing and building detectors and/or electronics for various
research groups and industries.
He is now the associate director of the R.J.A. Levesque Laboratory
at the University of Montreal and is still heavily involved in electronics,
instrumentation and DAQ for many collaborations (PICASSO, ATLAS,
VERITAS, KOPIO) with particular attention given to the instrumentation
of the TIGRESS gamma spectrometer facility at TRIUMF/ISAC.
He is a senior member of IEEE, and chaired the NPSS Real Time Conference
in May 2003.
Ilan Ben-Zvi
Particle Accelerator Science and Technology
Ilan Ben-Zvi is a senior scientist at Brookhaven National
Laboratory. He serves as the group leader for the Electron Cooling
of RHIC group in the Collider-Accelerator Department. His current
research interests are electron cooling of hadron beams, the generation
of high-brightness electron beams, advanced electron beam diagnostics,
Energy Recovery Linacs, short wavelength Free-Electron Lasers, and
advanced accelerator concepts. He has developed the Superconducting
Quarter Wave Resonator, the superconducting reentrant cavity and
the Superconducting RFQ for heavy ion accelerators, a number of
generations of the BNL photoinjector, spearheaded the measurement
of slice-emittance and phase space tomography of photoinjectors,
and the development of a new type of superferric undulator. He is
currently developing ampere average current, high-brightness electron
beam based on a superconducting photoinjector and energy recovery
linac.
He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and a Senior Member
of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, member
of the New York Academy of Science and the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. He is the recipient of the 1999
IEEE Accelerator Science and Technology Award and the 2001 BNL Science
and Technology Award.
Ilan Ben-Zvi received his Ph.D. in physics from the Weizmann Institute
of Science, Rehovot, Israel in 1970. From 1970 to 1989 he was a
member of the scientific staff of the Weizmann Institute. He held
visiting positions as Research Associate at Stanford University
(1970-1975), Associate Professor of Physics at the University at
Stony Brook (1980-1982) and Professor of Physics at Stony Brook
(1988-1990). He joined the National Synchrotron Light Source at
Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1989, and the Collider Accelerator
Department (joint appointment) in 2000. He is a tenured senior physicist
at BNL and an Adjunct Professor of Physics at Stony Brook. He served
as the Director of the Accelerator Test Facility, a user’s
facility for beam physicists, from 1989 to 2004, building up the
facility to serve as the premier DOE facility for advanced accelerator
R&D.
His active involvement in international cooperative projects led
to his design and construction of the current leads of the HERA
proton ring in DESY, Germany, participation in the design and construction
of the University of Washington’s superconducting heavy ion
booster, advisory work on beam optics, cavity design and controls
of the INFN superconducting linac in Legnaro, Italy and new generation
photoinjectors in collaboration with SLAC and UCLA (Gun III) and
with KEK and Sumitomo (Gun IV) in Japan. In 1996 he initiated the
archive of accelerator conference proceedings on the web, later
to become known as JACoW. Ilan Ben-Zvi developed special relations
with industry, including transfer of technology projects and collaborations
on the development of novel accelerator components.
He participated in the earliest stages of the development of superconducting
linear accelerators at Stanford University. His work there included
SRF techniques such as UHV firing of niobium cavities; particle
beam dynamics in heavy ion linacs including work on alternating
phase focusing and beam dynamics of high brightness ion beams, and
accelerating structures. In this field he is the co-developer of
the superconducting reentrant cavity and wrote codes that explained
high order multipactoring in rf cavities. In 1975 he founded the
Cryogenic Technology Laboratory at the Weizmann Institute and worked
there on SRF, cryogenics and electrostatic accelerators. He developed
a chopper-buncher system with emittance-independent chopper, harmonic
buncher and a superconducting rebuncher and built the first quarter
wave resonator superconducting booster linac. At Stony Brook he
participated in the construction of its Heavy Ion Superconducting
Linac, developed the Superconducting Quarter Wave Resonator, a wide-band
rf cavity controller circuit and the Superconducting RFQ, all in
wide use around the world. At BNL he headed the construction of
the ATF Users Facility where he did research on laser and plasma
acceleration, FEL physics, superferric undulators, high brightness
electron guns and optical stochastic cooling. In most of these instances
Ilan Ben-Zvi led teams of scientists, engineers, technicians and
administrators to carry out complex R&D and construction projects.
He was a member of the editorial board of Physical Review Special
Topics - Accelerators and Beams from its inauguration in 1998 until
2004. He is a member of the ICFA Panel on Advanced and Novel Accelerators.
He was the elected Secretary-Treasurer of the APS Division of Physics
of Beams from 1999 to 2002. From 1997 to 1999 he chaired the BNL
Council. He has served on or chaired several advisory and program
committees of Beam Physics conferences and workshops, (including
acting as a co-chair of the 1995 International FEL Conference, Program
chair of the 1999 Particle Accelerator Conference and the 2001 International
FEL Conference, chair of the 2004 Advanced Accelerator Concepts
Workshop etc.), technical advisory panels and reviews of accelerator
and FEL projects. Since 2005 he serves as the IEEE/NPSS Particle
Accelerator Science and Technology Committee chair. He is the author
or co-author of over two hundred and fifty publications.
