Gen ShiraneGen Shirane, a giant in the field of neutron scattering, died suddenly on Sunday, January 16, 2005. Gen had a 50 year career in neutron scattering, most of it working at Brookhaven's High Flux Beam Reactor. He performed many seminal experiments and published more that 700 papers on a wide variety of topics ranging from ferroelectricity to low dimensional solids and High Tc. A Memorial tribute to Gen was held on Saturday, Feb. 12, 2005 in the Physics Department's Seminar Room at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Click here for a steaming video of the tribute.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily
funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven
National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental
sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also
builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and
government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by
Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University,
the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science
and technology organization.
