Fermilab has made several changes in the administration of the Proton Department which became effective on August 15. C. Thornton Murphy became Head of the Proton Department; he has been Associate Head since March, 1976.
Kenneth C. Stanfield has been named Associate Head. Bradley B. Cox, who has been Proton Department Head since March, 1976, moves to Head of the Superconducting Group in the Proton Department in charge of construction of the new superconducting High Intensity Beam in the Proton Area.
Murphy has been at Fermilab since 1973. He was an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 1968 to 1973, following four years as an assistant professor of physics at the University of Michigan. He has been active in several bubble chamber experiments at the Laboratory and served as chairman of the bubble chamber users committee at Fermilab. He has also been a member of the E-95 collaboration, studying wide angle gamma ray correlations in the Proton Laboratory.
Murphy received his A.B. from Princeton University. His M.A. and Ph.D. were earned at the University of Wisconsin.
Stanfield commuted to Fermilab to work as an experimenter during three of the six years that he was an assistant professor of physics at Purdue University. He also did research at the ZGS at the Argonne National Laboratory. He joined the Fermilab staff in March, 1977.
Stanfield did his undergraduate study at the University of Texas, then went to Harvard University, completing his A.M. in 1967 and Ph.D. in 1969. He was also at the University of Michigan as a research associate from 1969 to 1971.
