Ian McCarthy

Professor McCarthy is distinguished for his work on nuclear, atomic and molecular scattering and reaction processes. McCarthy's early work was on the nuclear optical model and direct interaction mechanisms. Subsequently he applied the same methods to the interpretation of (e,2e) reactions on atoms and molecules, leading to determinations of the momentum distribution of the struck electrons. The Flinders University group has become one of the leaders in (e,2e) spectroscopy.
