John Seeman
John Theodore Seeman (* 1950 in Marshalltown , Iowa ) is an American physicist who works with particle accelerators .
Seeman studied physics at Iowa State University (Bachelor 1973) and received his doctorate from Cornell University , where he designed the injector for the electron-positron collider CESR (Cornell Electron Storage Ring). He then spent three years at CESR before starting in 1982 at SLAC to help set up the SLC linear accelerator. From 1993 he directed the construction of the accelerator for the PEP-II B meson factory (where the BaBar experiment was carried out). After its completion, he became head of the accelerator division at SLAC in 1999 and from 2002 he was assistant director of the technical department.
He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and received the Robert R. Wilson Prize in 2004 . He also received the IEEE Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award. In 2000 he received a project management award from the US Department of Energy for completing the PEP-II.
