Dean Lee Professor of Physics Keywords: Nuclear Structure, Nuclear Reactions, Many-Body Theory, Superfluidity, Quantum Computing Theoretical Nuclear Physics About • PhD, Physics, Harvard University, 1998 • Joined the laboratory in August 2017 • leed@frib.msu.edu Research The Lee research group is focused on connecting fundamental physics to forefront experiments. The group studies many aspects of quantum few- and manybody systems. Together with collaborators, the group has developed lattice Monte Carlo methods that probe strongly-interacting systems and study superfluidity, nuclear clustering, phase transitions, and other emergent phenomena from first principles. The group also investigates many facets of the strong nuclear force, from the underlying symmetries of quantum chromodynamics to predictions for nuclear structure, reactions, and thermodynamics. How Students can Contribute as Part of my Research Team Much of the research in our group is motivated by the prospect of discovering something new. I am happy to work with students and postdocs who are excited by the discovery process and eager to chase all promising ideas to their logical conclusion. Selected Publications D. Frame, R. He, I.

Steven Lidia Senior Physicist and Adjunct Professor of Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering Keywords: Accelerator Systems, Beam Diagnostics High-Performance Controls, Advanced Instrumentation, High Brightness Beams Accelerator Physics About • PhD, Physics, University of California at Davis, 1999 • Joined the laboratory in August 2016 • lidia@frib.msu.edu Research Contemporary and planned accelerator facilities are pushing against several development frontiers. Facilities like the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, the European Spallation Source, FAIR@ GSI, IFMIF, SARAF, and others are currently expanding the limits of the intensity frontier of proton and heavy ion beams. These high-intensity hadron beams are intrinsically useful for nuclear science as they permit exploration of low cross section reactions with reasonable experimental data collection rates. These same beams, however, also present distinct hazards to machine operation from uncontrolled beam losses. Optimum scientific performance of these facilities requires us to predict and measure the behavior of intense beams. The development of diagnostic techniques and advanced instrumentation allows the accelerator scientist to create and to tune beamlines that preserve beam quality measures while allowing for precise manipulation and measurement of the beam’s energy, intensity, trajectory, isotope content, and phase space density and correlations. We utilize sophisticated codes to model the dynamics of multicomponent particle beams and their electromagnetic, thermal, and nuclear interactions with materials and devices. We design sensor devices and components that enable us to make specific measurements of beam parameters. These sensors are paired with electronic signal acquisition, analysis, and control systems to provide timely data that permit beam tuning and to monitor beam behavior and beamline performance. These systems are built and tested in the laboratory before commissioning with beam. Like accelerator science, in general, development of diagnostic and control techniques involve the understanding and utilization of diverse subject matter from multiple physics and engineering sub-disciplines. prediction and measurement of beam instabilities; and development of electronics, firmware, and software to interface with these sensors. Specific instrumentation developments will enable non-intercepting bunch length and profile measurements, monitors for ion beam contaminant species and diffuse beam halo, machine learning techniques for integrating loss monitor networks, and compact sources of soft x-rays for nuclear structure measurements.
