About the Author
Edl Schamiloglu is the Gardner-Zemke Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, where he also directs the Pulsed Power and Plasma Science Laboratory. He performs extensive work in the physics and technology of charged particle beam generation and propagation, high-power narrow band and ultra-wideband microwave sources, plasma physics and diagnostics, and electromagnetic wave propagation. Dr. Schamiloglu is the associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science. He is a senior member of the IEEE and an elected member of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society's Administrative Committee (NPSS AdCom). Also, in 1991 Dr. Schamiloglu was a member of the Delphi/Minerva team that received the Sandia National Laboratories Research Excellence Award. Furthermore, he received the 1992 School of Engineering Research Excellence Award, and was recently awarded the title of Regents? Lecturer (1996999).

Under the auspices of the MURI program, HPM scientists at nine U.S. universities have been conducting research projects under three Consortia led by Magne Kristiansen at Texas Tech University (Lubbock), Victor Granatstein at the University of Maryland (College Park), and Neville Luhmann at the University of California (Davis). The other university participants include the other coeditor (ES) at the University of New Mexico (Albuquerque), John Nation at Cornell University (Ithaca), Ned Birdsall at the University of California (Berkeley), George Caryotakis at Stanford University (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center), Ronald Gilgenbach at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), and Tony Lin at the University of California (Los Angeles). To facilitate the rapid transition of research results into the industrial community, formal collaborative subcontracts were established with James Benford (Microwave Sciences), Carter Armstrong (Northrop-Grumman), and Howard Jory (CPI). Furthermore, cooperative ties were strengthened with the ongoing HPM research and development efforts at the Air Force Research Laboratory-Phillips Research Site (Kirtland Air Force Base, NM) first under the coordination of Jack -Agee and later through the liaison efforts of John Gaudet. The first chapter of this book orients the subject matter, defines needed terminology, and describes the underlying structure of the presentations. Following that introduction in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 presents HPM source research in the broad context of DoD interest in rf sources. Chapters 3 to 6 present advances in HPM sources and a better understanding of the pulse-shortening issue that has received a great deal of attention. Chapters 7 to 11 present advances in enabling technologies that are essential not only to achieve a better understanding of the physics of HPM sources, but also to make HPM practical. Finally, alternate approaches to achieving HPM and future challenges in this nascent area of research are described" in Chapter 12.
