H. Terry Fortune

Experiments in nuclear physics, using heavy ions and elementary particles to initiate reactions. Theoretical calculations of nuclear structure and of reaction mechanisms. Most recent research has utilized beams of pi mesons from Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility, in New Mexico; neutrons from Triangle Universities Meson Facility in Vancouver, B.C. (Canada); and electrons at the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Va, and at DESY, in Hamburg, Germany, as a member of the HERMES experiment.

Have supervised PhD dissertations of approximately 17 students, and assisted in supervision of many others. About half of these PhD's have careers at major universities and national laboratories.
