Notes on contributors

John M. Palms

John M. Palms is presently chairman of the Physics Department at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. He has worked in the area of fundamental nuclear physics and ap - plied radiation physics for the past 13 years, first as a nuclear research officer in weapons effects analysis in the U.S. Air Force and later as a staff member at Sandia Laboratories and Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. At Emory he is continuing studies in fundamental experimental x-ray fluorescence yield and Coster-Kronig transition probabilities’, he has been actively engaged in applying radiation physics to diagnostic medical, as well as industrial, gauging techniques. He has been a consultant to many nucleonic industries and has written numerous articles in both fundamental nuclear and applied physics.

H. H. Nichols

H. H. Nichols received his MS degree in physics from Vanderbilt and for 16 years was a nuclear engineer specialist at Lockheed Georgia Company. In this capacity he was responsible for the design and development of nuclear gauging techniques and instruments and the evaluation of nuclear detectors for use in gauging applications.
