Fourth JAR1 Medal Award

For Outstanding Contributions to Radiation and Isotope Applications and Instrumentation

The publisher of JARI, Robert Maxwell, the Directors of Pergamon Press and the Editors of the journal are pleased to announce that the fourth award of the JARI Medal has been made to Dr Syed Muhammad Qaim of the Institute for Nuclear Chemistry of the Research Centre, Jiilich, F.R.G. in recognition of his many distinguished theoretical and experimental contributions to the fundamental understanding of nuclear reactions. During the past two decades Dr Qaim’s contributions have included studies of trinucleon reactions in medium and heavy mass nuclei, extensive measurements of nuclear cross-sections and isomer ratios and the development of production methods for a wide range of radionuclides using charged particle reactions in solid, liquid or gas targets. Especially outstanding has been Dr Qaim’s skill in combining physical and chemical methods to yield elegant, and often very simple, procedures for the production of short-lived radionuclides for medical use.
