Fermilab center renamed after late particle physicist Helen Edwards
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Integrated Engineering Research Center, which officially opened in January 2024, is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center. The name was changed to honor the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the lab’s Tevatron accelerator and was part of the Water Resources Development Act signed by President Biden in December 2024, according to a Fermilab press release.

Lecture | Fourth ITER International Summer School (IISS2010) | doi.org/10.13182/FST11-A11700
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
This lecture was given at the 4th ITER International Summer School in May 2010 to describe the broad research program on feedback control of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability performed by the reversed field pinch (RFP) community and its implication for magnetic confinement fusion. The lecture provides a bird's-eye view on RFP feedback control results obtained with active coils, and on their implications for ITER and tokamaks in general. A number of selected key examples are presented with the aim of highlighting the more innovative and broadly applicable results. RFPs provide a significant contribution to the effort of the broader fusion community on active control of MHD stability, and to fusion science in general.
