McDaniel, Boyce D. (Boyce Dawkins), 1917-
Papers relating to the CLEO Experiment and the Origins of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR).
McDaniel has not kept many personal records. He does have a collection of letters, which he solicited in the spring and fall of 1975, from prominent physicists who commented on Cornell's initial proposal to build a colliding beam facility. The correspondence occasionally touches on the policy issues created by the submission of a Cornell proposal while Stanford Linear Accelerator Center's (SLAC) proposal to build the Positron-Electron Project (PEP) was still pending in Congress. Copies of most, but not all the letters are in the National Science Foundation files.
Boyce Dawkins McDaniel was the Director of Floyd R. Newman Laboratory for Nuclear Studies when the Cornell Electron Synchrotron Ring (CESR) was proposed and built.
