Sarah Mariehelen Cousineau is an American physicist. In 2020,she was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society for her "high-impact contributions to high-power proton accelerator research,inspiring workforce education and effective leadership in the physics of beams."
Cousineau completed her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Dakota and her graduate degrees from Indiana University Bloomington. [1] After earning her doctorate degree in accelerator physics from Indiana University,she joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as a postdoctoral scientist. [2]
While serving in a joint appointment with ORNL and the University of Tennessee,Cousineau served as the group leader in the Research Accelerator Division at the Spallation Neutron Source. In this role,she oversaw and coordinated beam physics research efforts for the SNS accelerator. [3] In 2018,she led a group of researchers to create the first-ever 6D measurement of an accelerator beam. [4] In 2020,Cousineau was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society for her "high-impact contributions to high-power proton accelerator research,inspiring workforce education and effective leadership in the physics of beams."

Carlo Rubbia is an Italian particle physicist and inventor who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1984 with Simon van der Meer for work leading to the discovery of the W and Z particles at CERN.
George Randolph Kalbfleisch was an American particle physicist.
Helen Thom Edwards was an American physicist. She was the lead scientist for the design and construction of the Tevatron at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
Swapan Chattopadhyay CorrFRSE is an Indian American physicist. Chattopadhyay completed his PhD from the University of California (Berkeley) in 1982.
Sau Lan Wu is a Chinese American particle physicist and the Enrico Fermi Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She made important contributions towards the discovery of the J/psi particle,which provided experimental evidence for the existence of the charm quark,and the gluon,the vector boson of the strong force in the Standard Model of physics. Recently,her team located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN),using data collected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC),was part of the international effort in the discovery of a boson consistent with the Higgs boson.
Evans Hayward was an American physicist and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. She was an international leader in photonuclear physics using beams of electrons,positrons and neutrons from high-energy accelerators to probe nuclear structure.

Geoffrey L. Greene is an American neutron physicist. Greene received his bachelor's degree from Swarthmore College in 1971 and his doctorate from Harvard University in 1974 with Norman Ramsey,a Nobel laureate in physics. There he worked on low-energy (cold) neutrons,which were then first available in intense beams. As a post-doctoral fellow he was at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the Institut Laue-Langevin. He was an assistant professor at Yale University and then at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He has held various management positions at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since 2002,he is a professor at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
