Glen Lambertson
Glen R. Lambertson (sometimes Glenn Lambertson) is an American physicist who studies particle accelerators .
Lambertson studied at the University of Colorado (Bachelor of Science in Physics in 1948) and at the University of California, Berkeley (Masters Degree in 1951). After completing his studies, he worked for forty years until 1991 at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory , most recently as Senior Scientist, second level, and as group leader. He was visiting scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory (1995), at CERN (1993) and advisor to SLAC (1995 to 1998).
At the beginning of his career Lambertson developed a resonant beam extractor for the Bevatron . At Bevatron he was also part of the team that discovered the Antineutron in 1956. He developed magnets as well as measuring devices for the particle beams in accelerators (such as Schottky detectors) and instruments that improve the beam properties via feedback mechanisms. For example, he developed the system for the stochastic cooling of antiprotons in the Tevatron I ring in Fermilab and the feedback control system for space charge instabilities in the beam of the Advanced Light Source. He also developed control systems for beam instabilities for the PEP II Collider at SLAC.
In 1991 he received the US Particle Accelerator School Prize and in 2006 the Robert R. Wilson Prize . He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science .
