Title Image


This picture was taken in 1981 at the University of Wisconsin 240 MeVBeamline Work at Penn Synchrotron "Tantulus." Wolfgang Eberhardt (foreground) was a postdoc in the group and is now a Professor at the Technical University of Berlin and Director of the BESSY II Synchrotron Facility in Berlin. Brian Tonner (far left) was a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania and is now the Head of the Physics Department at the University of Central Florida.

Shown in the picture is one of three Toroidal Grating Monochromators designed and built in collaboration with IBM and the Synchrotron Radiation Center in Wisconsin. Key papers (more than 100 citations) that resulted from the work at Tantulus are:
