1997 Newly Elected Fellows of the American Physical Society

Roger Odell Bangerter, "for fundamental contributions to all aspects of heavy-ion-driven inertial confinement fusion and leadership of the U.S. effort to develop its potential as an energy source."

George James Caporaso, "for original contributions to the design and analysis of high-current electron accelerators, especially for instability studies which have greatly extended the utility of induction linacs."

Max Cornacchia, "for broad contributions to the development of several accelerators, particularly in the design and development of synchrotron light sources from the first generation through current studies on concepts for future sources."

John Irwin, "for significant contributions to the research, development and application of modern techniques of nonlinear dynamics to accelerator systems, in particular to electron-positron colliding beam devices."

Thomas Christos Katsouleas, "for original contributions to advanced particle acceleration concepts including the invention of the Surfatron accelerator, and his detailed studies of beam loading and emittance growth in plasma accelerators."

Thomas Roser, "for contributions to the accelerator physics of polarized proton beams, in particular the successful demonstration of the principle of the Partial Siberian Snake."

1997 U.S. Particle Accelerator School Prize for Achievement in Accelerator Physics and Technology

A Prize of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Particle Accelerator School sponsored by URA, SURA, Varian-Vacuum Products, Westinghouse Electric Corporation and John Wiley & Sons, publishers

Daniel Boussard, "for original contributions to the fields of RF, longitudinal beam dynamics, and feedback, and for the realization of superconducting acceleration systems."

Chandrashekhar Joshi, "for pioneering experiments on high gradient, laser-driven, plasma beat-wave acceleration."

1997 APS Award for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in Beam Physics

An award of the American Physical Society sponsored by the Division of Beam Physics and Universities Research Association (URA)

Linda Spentzouris, "for her pioneering measurements of nonlinear coherent phenomena in high-energy hadron beams, building upon the rich theoretical development in plasma physics over the last several decades. Her findings include the identification of three-wave interactions in beams, and a related phenomenon, echoes, which provides a means to detect extremely weak diffusive processes at work in the beam. Her work serves as a starting point for the understanding of saturation and turbulent states in high-energy synchrotrons."

1997 APS Robert R. Wilson Prize

To Recognize and Encourage Outstanding Achievement in the Physics of Particle Accelerators - a prize of the American Physical Society sponsored by the APS Division of Physics of Beams, the APS Division of Particles and Fields and the Friends of R.R. Wilson

Andrew M. Sessler, "for a broad range of theoretical and conceptual advances in particle beam dynamics, leading to important accelerator performance improvements; for contributions in the areas of synchrotron rings, including negative mass instability and resistive wall instability, and free electron lasers; for the two-beam accelerator concept; for helping shape the very language of beam physics; and for inspiring and guiding several generations of accelerator scientists and serving as a statesman of science."
