[Cuga] JLab Mourns Death of Arun Saha

[Lorelei Carlson]

  Arun Saha, long-time Physics Division staff scientist, passed away 
during the early
hours of May 9 due to complications from recent heart surgery. He will 
be missed
by his many colleagues, friends and associates, who will remember both 
his kind and
gentle spirit and his many contributions to nuclear physics.  Arun is 
recognized world-wide
as a leader in the study of nuclear structure through experiments in 
which protons
are "knocked out" from nuclei using electron beams.  He led these 
studies over a
broad range of nuclei, from the simplest system, the deuteron, to one of 
the heaviest,
the lead nucleus.  He has worked closely with scientists scattered all 
over the world,
and co-authored many publications with them.  He was also highly 
appreciated in the
accelerator physics community for his technical expertise in beam line 
instrumentation.

Family members are planning to have an informal memorial service at his 
house on
Wednesday, May 11, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. 
The address is:
102 Queen Anne Dr.
Williamsburg, VA 23185

Please RSVP to Arun's son Joe Saha (<joesaha at gmail.com>) if you plan to 
attend.
Family members are planning to have some Cheese Shop sandwiches and select
Bengali snacks, but invite those attending to bring any additional 
potluck entrees you
 would like.

Due to limited parking, the family requests that people car pool as much 
as possible.
