Stanford University Department of Physics - Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory

Alexander Fetter chosen as new Director of Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory

Professor Alexander Fetter has agreed to serve as Director of the Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory for a one-year term, from September 1, 1996 through August 31, 1997. Professor Fetter was selected to help "chart the course" for HEPL's future and will take on the task of constructing a coherent picture of the future for HEPL over the next 5-10 years. Mason Yearian, who was director of HEPL for 23 years, served during a time when the laboratory made a critical transition from a single purpose accelerator laboratory to a multi-disciplinary laboratory that supports several medium-scale physics experiments.
