理查德·塔尔曼，born in Toronto, Canada, BA and MA in Math at Western University, London, Ontario, received a PhD in Physics, Cal Tech, in 1962. He has been a professor (now emeritus) of physics at Cornell ever since, advancing through the ranks. Like all disciples of Robert Wilson, he has specialized co-equally in elementary particle physics and accelerator physics. Fellow of the American Physical Society. he is author or one of the principal authors of about 40 Physical Review Letters publications and about the same number of longer publications. He is the author of books Geometrical Mechanics (2nd edition), and Accelerator X-Ray Sources, and has supervised 19 successful PhD thesis candidates. He was group leader of the 'Instrumentation and Diagnostics Group' at the late, lamented, S.S.C. project in Texas. He has spent sabbaticals at CERN (twice), SLAC, the Central Design Group at Lawrence Berkeley Lab and at the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon. He has taught numerous courses at the U.S. Particle Accelerator School, most recently a course 'All-Electric Accelerators' (for electric dipole measurement) at the University of California, Davis in 2017 (with the present book as text).
