Garwin, Edward L. (Edward Lee)
Edward L. Garwin papers, 1950-2003.
Papers from Garwin's office include: early notebooks, correspondence, and writings by Garwin, info on patents, student dissertations, and an assortment of calculators. Records of the Physical Electronics (PEL) department include informaion on: superconductivity and superconducting materials studies, storage rings, vacuums, beam dump, the Physical Electronic Department (PEL), Mott insulator, SLAC Linear Collider (SLA), PEGGY II (polarized electron source at SLAC), Environmental Safety and Health committee, as well as a proposal for a High-energy Electron-positron Colliding-beam Storage Ring at SLAC. Correspondents include Robert E. Kirby, Earl Hoyt, and Jean Francis. In addition Garwin maintained PEL subject files in two classification systems: 1) Ed Garwin - Files Classification System and 2) AIP Physics and Astronomy Classification scheme (PACS). Subjects listed in these files include: vacuums, seals, pumps, valves, metallurgy, heating, cryogenics, optics, glass, mechanical components, electronic components, controls, safety, welding, brazing, soldering; and many more. Material types include correspondence, memoranda, drawings, technical notes, notebooks, logbooks, papers, publications and some photographs.
Physicist (1933-2008). B.S., Case Institute of Technology; Ph.D., physics, University of Chicago (1958). Head, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) Physical Electronics (PEL) department (1964). Garwin was heavily involved in the design of SLACs beam switchyard and made major contributions to SPEAR and SLC. Ed Garwin was the brother of physicist Richard Garwin.
