Dr. Pushpendra P. Singh

Biography

Dr. Singh is PhD in Experimental Nuclear Physics from the Aligarh University and the Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi. The Indian Physics Association (IPA) conferred "Prof. C. V. K. Baba Award 2008" for his thesis work during the DAE-BRNS Symposium. In July 2009, he moved to the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL), Italy on an international INFN-Fellowship after a short postdoctoral stay at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. During his stay at LNL, Dr. Singh has worked on fusion at extreme sub-barrier energies and (multi)-nucleon transfer reactions using Electrostatic separator and PRISMA spectrometer. He worked as a visiting Scientist at GSI - Helmholtz Centre for Heavy-Ion Research GmbH in Germany before joining IIT Ropar. Dr. Singh has been the spokesperson of a variety of collaborative experiments at various national and international accelerator facilities. Some of his scientific contributions include: "the understanding of reaction dependent entry state population in low energy nuclear reactions", "Reconciliation of Famous Mass-asymmetry Systematics", "Alpha-Q-value systematics" and very "First Observation of Extreme Sub-barrier Fusion Hindrance for positive Q-value systems". He is a member of NuStAR collaboration for the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt in Germany. 

Research Interest

Accelerator based Nuclear Reactions, Astrophysics and Spectroscopy study: - Fusion (and/or Incomplete Fusion)-Fission reactions - Low energy Incomplete fusion (i.e., Elab = 3-7 MeV/nucleon) - Fusion at extreme sub-barrier energies - Few (multi)-nucleon transfer reactions from well below to above barrier energies. - Nuclear spectroscopy using Coulomb excitations, (multi)-nucleon transfer and fusion-evaporations reactions
