<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Arun Saha, long-time
Physics Division staff scientist, passed away during the early <br>
hours of May 9 due to complications from recent heart surgery. He will
be missed <br>
by his many colleagues, friends and associates, who will remember both
his kind and <br>
gentle spirit and his many contributions to nuclear physics. Arun is
recognized world-wide <br>
as a leader in the study of nuclear structure through experiments in
which protons <br>
are “knocked out” from nuclei using electron beams. He led these
studies over a <br>
broad range of nuclei, from the simplest system, the deuteron, to one
of the heaviest, <br>
the lead nucleus. He has worked closely with scientists scattered all
over the world, <br>
and co-authored many publications with them. He was also highly
appreciated in the <br>
accelerator physics community for his technical expertise in beam line
instrumentation.<br>
<br>
Family members are planning to have an informal memorial service at his
house on <br>
Wednesday, May 11, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. <br>
The address is:<br>
102 Queen Anne Dr.<br>
Williamsburg, VA 23185<br>
<br>
Please RSVP to Arun's son Joe Saha (<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="mailto:joesaha@gmail.com"><joesaha@gmail.com></a>) if you
plan to attend. <br>
Family members are planning to have some Cheese Shop sandwiches and
select <br>
Bengali snacks, but invite those attending to bring any additional
potluck entrees you<br>
would like.<br>
<br>
Due to limited parking, the family requests that people car pool as
much as possible.<br>
