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.

Based on the available experimental data for total cross section, nonelastic cross section, and elastic scattering angular distribution of n + 32,natS, a set of neutron optical potential parameters is obtained. The complete sets of nuclear data for n + 32,34S < 20 MeV are calculated. These sets include cross sections, angular distributions of elastic scattering, energy spectra and/or double-differential cross sections of all emitted particles, and gamma production data (production cross sections and multiplicity, energy spectra) in all kinds of reactions. The calculated results are generally in good accordance with experimental data and are compared with JENDL-3.3.
