Mr. Samuel H. Aronson Lab Director

Former Lab Director Samuel Aronson Named Senior Scientist Emeritus

After completing his undergraduate training in physics at Columbia in 1964 and receiving his Ph.D. in experimental particle physics from Princeton in 1968, Aronson joined the Enrico Fermi Institute of the University of Chicago, working at Argonne and Fermilab, followed by research and teaching at the University of Wisconsin.

Aronson came to the Laboratory in 1978 as an associate physicist in the Accelerator Department to work on the ISABELLE project.

ISABELLE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISABELLE

The idea of using alternating gradient synchrotron (AGS) technology [3] to build storage rings for a proton-proton colliding beam accelerator was considered at a summer study held at Brookhaven in 1963.[4] The Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) facility at CERN, a 30+30 GeV proton-proton system, opened in 1971 and became the first high energy hadron collider. The SPEAR collider at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, a 3+3 GeV electron-positron system, was completed in 1972 and soon contributed to discoveries of the ψ meson and τ lepton, both recognized in Nobel Prizes. The ψ had previously been found in a fixed-target experiment at the Brookhaven AGS, where it was called the J, but it was better measured with SPEAR.
