Description
As I approach retirement at the end of this fiscal year, I would like to take this opportunity to review my research journey in the fields of nuclear physics and nuclear data. I will begin by looking back on the history of education and research in the Department of Nuclear Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, at Kyushu University, where I spent my early academic years. I will then trace the development of nuclear data research at Kyushu University, highlighting its evolution and key milestones. In particular, I will present my own studies on important “pre-equilibrium reaction processes” within this research lineage and reflect on how collaborations and interactions with many researchers in the nuclear physics community have shaped and enriched my work.
