Description
Speaker: Frank ZIMMERMANN is a senior scientist with the CERN Beams Department and the deputy leader of the Future Circular Collider study. Starting with HERA and early LHC design, he worked on a large number of colliders, including SLC, NLC design, PEP-II, KEKB, Tevatron, and LHC commissioning. He co-proposed and co-designed various future colliders, including the LHC luminosity upgrade, the LHeC, SAPPHiRE, HE-LHC, LEP3, FCC-ee, and FCC-hh. While doing so, he made pioneering contributions on ion-driven beam instabilities and electron-cloud effects. Prior to CERN, he worked at SLAC (1993-98) and at DESY (1990-93). In 1997, he was awarded a SLAC “Panofsky fellowship.” In 2002, he received the biannual EPS-IGA prize for outstanding work in accelerator physics, in 2019, the USPAS Prize for achievement in accelerator physics and technology, and in 2023 the Fermi Prize of the Italian Physical Society. Since 2004, he is a Fellow of the APS and since 2015, a senior member of the IEEE. In 2022, he chaired the APS Division of Physics of Beams (APS-DPB).
