Preparing the Next Generation of Institutional Leaders: Strategic Supports for Mid-Career Faculty

Abstract: Calls for leadership development and associated supports for faculty members are growing in prominence in higher education. Yet, traditional leadership development efforts in higher education fail to account for both individual and institutional needs as critical to fostering a leadership pipeline with multiple entry points. This manuscript offers succession management and onboarding as important and necessary steps to facilitating a more deliberate, strategic approach to supporting the next generation of institutional leaders – mid-career faculty members.

Low-energy electron capture by Ne 2 + ions from H(D)

Abstract: Using the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) ion-atom merged-beams apparatus, the absolute, total single-electron-capture cross section has been measured for collisions of ${\mathrm{Ne}}^{2+}$ with deuterium (D) at center-of-mass (c.m.) collision energies of $59--949\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}∕\mathrm{u}$. With the high-velocity ion beams now available at the ORNL Multicharged Ion Research Facility, we have extended our previous merged-beams measurement to lower c.m. collision energies. The data are compared to all four previously published measurements for ${\mathrm{Ne}}^{2+}+\mathrm{H}(\mathrm{D})$ which differ considerably from one another at energies $\ensuremath{\lesssim}600\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}∕\mathrm{u}$. We are unaware of any published theoretical cross-section data for ${\mathrm{Ne}}^{2+}+\mathrm{H}(\mathrm{D})$ at the energies studied. Early quantal rate coefficient calculations for ${\mathrm{Ne}}^{2+}+\mathrm{H}$ at eV/u energies suggest a cross section many orders of magnitude below previous measurements of the cross section at $40\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}∕\mathrm{u}$ which is the lowest collision energy for which experimental results have been published. Here we compare our measurements to recent theoretical electron-capture results for ${\mathrm{He}}^{2+}+\mathrm{H}$. Both the experimental and theoretical results show a decreasing cross section with decreasing energy.
