[On_site_list] JLab Mourns Death of Arun Saha

[deborah magaldi]

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.

Regards,
Deb Magaldi
