Yoshiharu Mori is currently a professor at the Research Reactor Institute of Kyoto University in Japan . He graduated Kyusyu University in 1972 where he received a Doctorate of Engineering 1977. Mori-san then became a research associate at KEK, an associate professor at KEK in 1987 and was promoted to professor of Institute for Nuclear Study of Tokyo University in 1995 and then moved to Kyoto University in 2005. His scientific achievements are numerous. Development of optically pumped polarized ion sources; for this work, he received the " IEEE-PAC Technology Award" in 1993. During 1992-1995 he studied heavy ion acceleration in synchrotrons.
From 1995 to the present he worked on three main developments. (1) Design of the JPARC proton synchrotrons (3-GeV & 50-GeV) and their construction. (2) Development of broad-band, high-gradient RF cavity with magnetic alloy for hadron accelerators. (3) FFAG accelerators starting with the POP (world's first proton FFAG), construction of 150 MeV proton FFAG accelerator at KEK as prototype for applications such as ADS experiment at Kyoto University, a Japanese neutrino factory, the PRISM-FFAG for muon phase rotation, the ERIT (emittance recovery internal target) neutron source for BNCT with ionization cooling at Kyoto University, and development of electron FFAGs for industrial applications. |

John Lewellen received his Bachelor's degree in Physics from Case Western Reserve University in 1991, and his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University in 1996. Lewellen then went to the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, where he worked on the APS SASE-FEL project. Lewellen was a founding member of the Argonne Department of Defense Project Office, where he has served as the Beam Physics lead. In 2007, Dr. Lewellen accepted a Research Associate Professor position at the Naval Postgraduate School , in Monterey , CA , as a joint appointment. His work there entails the development and construction of a high-brightness beam research facility. |
