Basic Concepts of Nuclear Physics

Jagadish B. Garg is professor of physics at the N Y state university of Albany, where he teaches undergraduate courses in general physics, contemporary astronomy and graduate level course in nuclear physics. For the past 40 years or so, he has done extensive research in neutron induced nuclear reactions in many nuclei all across the periodic table. This research was carried out using Columbia university’s Nevis cyclotron , electron linear accelerator at Oak Ridge national laboratory and high intensity fast breeder reactor at Brookhaven national laboratory. In 1970 he established a nuclear research program at the NY state University at Albany with the Dynamitron accelerator. He has published more than 100 research papers. In 1971 he organized an international conference on the statistical properties of nuclei in Albany and edited its proceedings, which was published by the Plenum press. In 1964 He was elected Fellow of the American Physical society and in 1961 fellow of the British physical society.
