An accelerator physicist whose theoretical work develops magnetized electron cooling. A cold electron beam travels alongside a heavier particle beam, exchanging momentum with it and reducing its random motion. His analysis shows how guiding the electrons with a solenoidal magnetic field can increase the cooling rate and lower the equilibrium temperature. The result is useful for preparing compact ion beams for collisions.[ref]
