Joint
Appointments
Hahn Choo
VULCAN
One joint appointment was awarded to Hahn Choo, who
joined ORNL as a member of the Power Diffraction
Group at SNS. He is also an associate professor at the
University of Tennessee College of Engineering. He is
currently working on VULCAN, the engineering diffractometer
under construction at SNS.
Honors and Awards
Herb Mook, a senior corporate fellow in NSSD was
named winner of the 2008 Jesse W. Beams Award
from the Southeastern Section
of the American Physical Society.
Herb was cited for “groundbreaking
research in magnetism
and superconductivity and leadership
in bringing world-leading
neutron scattering capabilities
to North America.” Each year,
the society awards three prizes
for contributions to the field.
Herb started his neutron science
research at ORNL in 1965
after receiving his doctorate
at Harvard University. He was
appointed a corporate fellow in
1987 and a senior corporate fellow
in 1995.
RAD physicist Slava Danilov
received a European Physical
Society Accelerator Group 2008
Achievement Prize. Slava was
recognized “for numerous contributions
to accelerator physics,
in particular for the proposal,
calculation, design, construction,
and demonstration of efficient
laser H- stripping” (see “Facility
Development, Future Initiatives”).
One of three prizes
awarded biennally by the society, this award is for an
individual in the early part of his or her career, who
has made a recent significant, original contribution
to the accelerator field.
PEOPLE 2008 ANNUAL REPORT
Slava joined the SNS project in 1998 and is part of
the Accelerator Physics Group. His research interests
include self-consistent
distributions of intense beam,
collective effects, nonlinear
dynamics and integrable systems,
and quantum physics of
beams.
