Santu Manna received the 2^nd best poster award at the DAE Symposium on Nuclear Physics held at Banaras Hindu University during 08-12 December, 2014. In the poster, Santu presented the results of an experiment that studied fragment emission mechanism in reactions ¹²C + ¹²C (producing an alpha cluster like nucleus) and ¹³C + ¹²C (non-alpha cluster nucleus). Santu and his collaborators, found that the yield of the neutron rich nuclei ⁹Be is (~ 4 times) more in reactions ¹³C + ¹²C compared to ¹²C + ¹²C.  Study of fragments emission mechanism is considered to be an important tool to understand entrance channel effects in reactions involving alpha-cluster and non alpha-cluster like nuclei.

Congratulations Santu!
