Award Statement C&EN (pages 3-4) In 1971, Moretto returned to Berkeley permanently and focused on the study of nuclear reactions. He spent the 1970s inducing fission with high-energy particles to determine, he says, how the shell structure “slowly fades away” with increasing energy. This work led to influential papers on nuclear level densities with John R. Huizenga. In the late […]
