NUCLEAR PHYSICS - Stony Brook University

Concluding remarks
• Alec Pond’s vision has largely been realized:
The purchase of the Van de Graaff was one of
several statements that Stony Brook intended to
be a major research university.
• Peter Paul’s vision to go after the LINAC has
paid off well.
• Peter also played a pivotal role in securing RHIC
for BNL.
• The Van de Graaff will continue as a productive
educational and outreach tool.
