On November 04, 2019, Raphael Haas won a "Giersch Excellence Award", sponsored by the Stiftung Giersch for outstanding achievements within the PhD phase. Raphael Haas devised the ODIn (Off-line Deposit Irradiation) setup for off-line conditioning of nuclear targets, which is of direct relevance for the production of the superheavy elements, and for the refinement of methods to produce thin samples of exotic radionuclides serving as recoil-sources for daughter isotopes for applications in several fields of nuclear physics and chemistry.
