Rand McNally, Jr. (PhD, physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1943) is a senior research staff member in the Fusion Energy Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His research interests include atomic physics, plasma physics, and nuclear fusion in which fields he has published well over 100 technical articles.J. Reece RothJ. Reece Roth(SB, physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1959; PhD, engineering physics, Cornell University, 1963) joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1963, where he was principal investigator of the Lewis Electric Field Bumpy Torus Project until 1978. He is presently on the faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. While at NASA, Roth pioneered in the application of superconducting magnet facilities to high temperature plasma research. This work included a superconducting magnetic mirror machine, which was put in service in 1964, and the superconducting Bumpy Torus magnet facility, which was put in service in 1972. Roth initiated research on the electric field Bumpy Torus concept, an approach to creating a plasma of fusion interest in which strong radial electric fields are imposed on a Bumpy Torus plasma in such a way that they contribute to the heating, stability, and confinement of the plasma. Among his contributions to the understanding of basic processes in plasmas are his experimental discovery of the continuity-equation oscillation, and of the geometric mean plasma frequency, a new mode of electromagnetic emission from plasmas.E.
