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.<br>
