'''Citation:'''

''For his distinguished leadership and vision in the conception, design, construction, and execution of the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. His many contributions have been decisive in all aspects of the experiment.''

'''Background:'''

Paul Grannis received the B. Eng. Phys. degree from Cornell University in 1961, and the Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1965, under the direction of Owen Chamberlain. Since 1966, he has been on the faculty at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, with guest appointments at Fermilab, CERN, the Rutherford Laboratory, and University College London.

His primary past research was conducted at the Brookhaven AGS and the CERN ISR and LEP colliders. In 1983, he was asked to form a collaboration to design and build a collider detector at the D0 intersection region of the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider, complementary to the planned CDF detector. As spokesman for D0 from 1983 to 1993, and co-spokesman with Hugh Montgomery from 1993 to 1996, Grannis led the D0 experiment from its inception through the end of Tevatron Run I. D0 extended our understanding of particle physics through its co-discovery with CDF of the top quark in 1995; precise measurements of the W boson mass and couplings; extensive studies of QCD using jets, gauge bosons and b-quarks; and searches for a variety of signatures of new physics. These accomplishments reflect the work of all in the D0 collaboration, and these colleagues share the honor of this award.

Grannis is Distinguished Professor at Stony Brook, has received Alfred P. Sloan and J.R. Guggenheim awards, and is a Fellow of the APS.

[[Image:AbhayDeshpande.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Abhay Deshpande]]

At the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists have proposed a new way of studying the structure of matter down to a level never before observed. Their proposal is the "eRHIC" collider, a planned upgrade to Brookhaven's giant particle accelerator, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

"The eRHIC facility will give physicists the ability to make some very important and unique particle and nuclear-physics measurements," said Abhay Deshpande, a physicist at Stony Brook University and the RIKEN BNL Research Center, who is part of the eRHIC team. "It promises significant leaps in physicists' understanding of the structure of nucleons (protons and neutrons) and of nuclei, which make up more than 99 percent of the matter around us."

Deshpande will discuss the design of the eRHIC detector at the 2006 American Physical Society national meeting in Dallas, Texas. His talks will take place on Sunday, April 23, 2006, at 1:30 p.m. in Room Landmark B of the Hyatt Regency Dallas.

The eRHIC facility will be built alongside the existing RHIC ring. It will produce a beam of electrons (hence the "e" in eRHIC) that will move at nearly the speed of light. RHIC and eRHIC will overlap at one point, allowing the RHIC ions and the eRHIC electrons to collide. This collision will create an explosion of particles that will then be extensively studied using a large detector built around the collision point. In essence, the electrons will be used to probe the matter contained within the ions, with very high precision.

Analyzing these collisions will help scientists answer fundamental questions in physics, such as how quarks and gluons combine to create protons, what role the gluons play in the formation of nuclei at very high energies, and why scientists have yet to observe free quarks (those not bound within protons or neutrons).

Another longstanding problem, which involves a property called "spin," will be addressed with extreme precision. The laws of quantum mechanics state that the spins of quarks and gluons should add up, such that the spin of a proton should equal the sum of the spins of the quarks and gluons that comprise it. However, according to experimental data, this doesn't happen. The sum of the spin of the quarks only accounts for about 30 percent of the proton's spin.

If eRHIC turns on according to current plans, which could make the facility operational as early as 2015, Deshpande and his colleagues hope to shed light on this and other basic questions that physicists still have no answers for. Addressing these problems will lead to new insights into the nature of matter itself.

RHIC is funded primarily by the Office of Nuclear Physics within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science.

[[Image:IlanBen-Zvi.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Ilan Ben-Zvi]]

Ilan Ben-Zvi, a senior physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been recognized as an IEEE Fellow. The IEEE originally represented electrical and electronics engineers, but it has expanded its scope and today is the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology. The IEEE Fellowship is one of the organization’s most prestigious honors.

Ben-Zvi was recognized “for leadership in superconducting accelerators, high brightness electron sources and free electron lasers.”

Ben-Zvi is head of the superconducting accelerator and electron cooling group at Brookhaven Lab’s Collider-Accelerator Department, where he develops state-of-the-art superconducting radio frequency accelerator elements and high-current, high-brightness electron beams. As director of Brookhaven Lab’s Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) for 15 years, Ben-Zvi saw to its development as the premiere advanced accelerator physics facility in the world. Working at the ATF, Ben-Zvi developed devices and techniques for improving free electron lasers, instruments used to study a wide variety of materials and chemical reactions; and devices for more efficiently operating accelerators for physics research.

After earning a Ph.D. in physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, in 1970, Ben-Zvi went to Stanford University, where he helped develop superconducting linear accelerators. In 1975, he returned to Weizmann and founded a cryogenic technology laboratory. From 1980-1982, Ben-Zvi was a visiting associate professor of physics at Stony Brook University. He helped to establish an accelerator at Stony Brook, and he invented and developed accelerator systems now used throughout the world.

Ben-Zvi joined Brookhaven Lab as a visiting physicist in 1988 and rose through the ranks to become a senior physicist in 1997. He served as head of Brookhaven’s Accelerator Test Facility from 1992 to 2007, and he is currently the associate chair for superconducting accelerator R&D at Brookhaven’s Collider-Accelerator Department as well as an adjunct professor of physics at Stony Brook.

Ben-Zvi is a Fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society. He is also the recipient of the IEEE Accelerator Science and Technology Award in 1999 and the IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society Merit Award in 2008. He received Brookhaven Lab’s Science and Technology Award in 2001 and the Free Electron Laser Prize in 2007, sponsored by the International Free Electron Laser Conference. He has served in leading roles in many international scientific meetings and distinguished scientific panels, including a National Academy of Sciences’ committee. He is the author or coauthor of over 375 publications.
