Research Interests

Professor Baker's primary research interest is nuclear physics. His interests include direct reactions (primarily inelastic hadron scattering), nuclear shapes, nuclear models, scattering of polarized particles, coupled-channels studies, and description of the spin-isospin properties of the continuum. He has performed experiments at many accelerators including those at Los Alamos National Laboratory, TRIUMF in Canada, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Saturne in France, and Indiana University.
