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.

Triton angular distributions and forward-to-backward emission ratios for the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction were measured in the incident neutron energy range from 10 eV to 325 keV using pulsed white-spectrum neutrons provided by the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA) facility. The angular distributions were measured with a new ionization detector, which offers an advantageous 2π geometry and nanosecond timing capability. Comparison is made between the angular distribution data obtained from this work and the results of calculations based on the compound model and on a direct reaction model involving a deuteron exchange mechanism in the s-wave channel.
