When originally issued this report was limited to the U.S. Government and their authorized contractors. Given the passage of time, advances in technology, and dissemination of related information into the public domain. Among the contributors are: Paul Dimotakis, Sidney Drell, and Freeman Dyson. John Michael Cornwall (born 19 August 1934) is an American theoretical physicist who is known for the Pinch Technique. Cornwall invented the Pinch Technique for calculating gauge-invariant off-shell Green's functions for QCD and other Yang-Mills theories, showing how a dynamical gauge-invariant mass arises for QCD gluons and how such gluons lead to confinement and other non-perturbative phenomena. He has also written some 40 papers on space plasmas such as the magnetospheric ring current, leading among other things to a detailed understanding of the dynamical role of electromagnetic cyclotron instabilities in the magnetosphere. Cornwall published with Richard E. Norton in 1973 one of the earliest papers on dynamic symmetry breaking in Yang-Mills theories. He was an advisor to the Institute for Defense Analyses in Alexandria, as well as to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He was a member of the Defense Science Board. He is a long-term member of the JASON Advisory Group. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2005), the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. More
