Hash Hashemian: Visionary leadership
As Dr. Hashem M. “Hash” Hashemian prepares to step into his term as President of the American Nuclear Society, he is clear that he wants to make the most of this unique moment.
A groundswell in public approval of nuclear is finding a home in growing governmental support that is backed by a tailwind of technological innovation. “Now is a good time to be in nuclear,” Hashemian said, as he explained the criticality of this moment and what he hoped to accomplish as president.

Single-electron-capture cross sections 10 for W+ projectile ions on Ar and Kr atomic gas targets at 10 keV (55 eV/u) and on H2, D2, CH4, C2H6, and C3H8 molecular gas targets at between 5.0 and 10 keV (27 and 55 eV/u) were experimentally derived for the first time. With our published single-electron-capture cross sections q q-1 for Beq+, Bq+, Cq+ , Feq+ , Niq+ , and Wq+ (q = 1 for Fe; q = 1,2 for the others) ions in low energy, an attempt was made to draw scaling behavior of single-electron-capture cross sections for such slow low-q ions on target species. Established scaling formulas are found to reproduce the measured cross sections generally within a magnitude and with higher precision for specific initial charge state and target species.
