John D. Fox
Consulting Professor of Applied Physics
Group Leader, Accelerator Technology Research Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

Interests in particle beam dynamics and development of techniques to control instabilities in particle accelerators and storage rings. Application of electronic and electro-optic signal processing techniques to instrumentation and feedback control problems. Development of wideband (GS/sec.) real-time processing architectures. Broad interests in instrument techniques for experimental measurements of physical systems. Energy technologies, environmental impacts and policy options regarding energy choices for the 21st century.

Helmut Wiedemann
Emeritus Professor (Research) of Applied Physics and of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory

Developments in theoretical and experimental accelerator physics, particle sources, linear accelerators, storage rings, and synchrotron radiation sources. Special interest in developing high brightness light sources at short pulse duration. Specific goals are to produce femto second electron pulses and convert them to a tunable source of femto second, coherent light pulses to be used for fundamental research and for particle acceleration.
