John R. Huizenga
Tracy H. Harris Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and Physics
Ph.D. 1949, University of Illinois, Urbana
Complex Nuclear Fission Processes and Nuclear Properties of Actinide NucleiProfessor Huizenga’s research efforts have emphasized studies of transuranic nuclei, nuclear fission, nuclear reactions, nuclear level densities and the cosmic abundances of the chemical elements. His research has focused on investigations of the excited states of actinide nuclei by reaction spectroscopy and the decay modes of actinide muonic atoms. He has made detailed studies of the energy dissipation, nucleon transfer, and microscopic time-scale associated with heavy-ion reaction processes known as strongly damped collisions.
