Dan Shapira (November 13, 1943 - December 24, 2024) was an American physicist from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He was awarded the status of Fellow [1] in the American Physical Society, [2] after he was nominated by the Division of Nuclear Physics in 2009, [3] for contributions to the study of nuclear collisions: the discovery of nuclear orbiting, pioneering measurements of the space-time extent of particle-emitting sources, [4] and seminal studies of fusion with n-rich exotic beams, and for development of innovative instrumentation to enable these studies.
