Background
• I graduated from Moscow Inst. of Physics & Technology, MS in Physics, summer of 1993
• I enrolled in Stanford Ph.D. program in Appl. Phys., fall 1993• I knew nothing about accelerators or acc. physics • In October 1993 I met Bob Siemann … • I became the first grad student of Bob at Stanford/SLAC• I spent 6 years working on my PhD under Bob’s guidance • These were truly exciting times to be here
SLC operations and the mystery of the saw-tooth instability ARDB formation, rapid growth, expansion into new research areasGreat people and creative and stimulating environment

Instability after Vacuum Chamber Replacement
At Bob’s suggestion this became a topic of my PhD
Mysteries remained:• Effect on the beam• Effect on SLC, if any• Instability mechanism and cause

Detecting Instability Signals
Clearly a better diagnostics was needed

Accelerator Physics Through Building Your Own Diagnostics

New Diagnostics Works Out
We finally got the t-domain instability signal.
We could now combine it with the streak camera

Saw-Tooth Instability: Main Results
• Recover complete phase-space picture
• Unstable mode contains ~3% of the beam
• Detector signals correlated with SLC beam downstream

PhD Thesis Writing
• Bob strongly believed that thesis writing is essential part of graduate education• Writing required many iterations• Huge effort from Bob

Graduation and Beyond
• I moved to BNL in Sept 1999
• We kept in touch discussing topics ranging from PRST-AB to his grad. students, and of course, Science
• My last meeting with Bob was on my SLAC visit in Feb 2007 …
Graduation ceremony, July 1999
