Abstract

Accelerator science and technology have evolved as accelerators became larger and important to a broad range of science. Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams was established to serve the accelerator community as a timely, widely circulated, international journal covering the full breadth of accelerators and beams. The history of the journal and the innovations associated with it are reviewed.

  • *Robert Siemann is a Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. He earned a Sc.B. degree in physics from Brown University in 1964 and a Ph.D. in physics from Cornell University in 1969. He returned to Cornell in 1973 as a faculty member in the Physics Department after a postdoctoral appointment at SLAC and a staff position at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He rose through the faculty ranks at Cornell, and his professional interest shifted from experimental particle physics to accelerator physics. He joined the SLAC faculty in 1991 and is also a Professor of Applied Physics, by Courtesy, and the head of the Advanced Accelerator Research Department. His present research is in the areas of plasma and laser-driven acceleration. He was the Editor of Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams from its founding in 1998 through 2007.
