Dr. Gerald Estberg, chairman of the department of physics at the University of San Diego, has recei,ed a $2,000 National Scien Foundation grant. The gra t is for con- tinued research in atomic physics. Estberg, in collaboration with a member of the physics department at Louisiana State University, is researching the lifetime of the negative helium ion. He began research on this problem last summer under an NSF Research Participation Program for College Teachers grant. Research on the lifetime of the negativt> helium ion was first done at Columbia University. Two English physicists of Queen's University in Northern Ireland further refined the calcula tions on the lifetime of the heltum ion. Estberg described the fin- • dings of last summer's project in a recent issue of "Physics Letters." He will continue his research this summer at Louisiana State. He 1s an assistant professor of physics at USO and holds a BA from Reed College and a PhD from Cornell University.
