Source of the photographic material: C. Düllmann (JGU/GSI/HIM) / D. Dietzel (JGU) The traditional annual TASCA Workshop on Recoil Separator for Superheavy Element Chemistry & Physics took place on May 10-12, 2022. This year’s workshop marked the 20th anniversary of the workshop series, which started in 2002. ...
After the successful virtual workshop TASCA 21, which we held earlier last year, we decided to organize the TASCA 2022 workshop in a similar fashion. As uncertainties of the travel possibilities persist, we will again hold it in virtual format. ...
Since about 20 years, the SHE Chemistry department organizes the annual TASCA workshop; in 2020, this became another victim to the pandemic.While some conferences moved virtual early on, many were postponed or cancelled altogether. ...

After a break of two years, our traditional TASCA workshop will be held again in 2021. Registration is now open! ...
Superheavy elements are short-lived and only available on a single-atom level, making their chemical properties very challenging to study. Now, through their co-precipitation with samarium, single atoms of rutherfordium have been shown to form hydroxide complexes but not ammine ones. ...
Center of the island of stability is not located at element 114 — Heavier elements will move into the spotlight Joint press release of GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Helmholtz Institute Mainz, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, in collaboration with Lund University ...
The discovery of the new isotope mendelevium-244 at TASCA and the ultra-precise measurement of the mass of the deuteron, for which our group provided the deuterium-target are listed in the annual review 2020 of "pro-physik" in particle, nuclear and accelerator physics. ...
Detection of the reaction products by technology, from the field of superheavy elements A collaboration between the research departments plasma physics and SHE chemistry at GSI succeeded in generating protons by bombarding thin targets with short pulses (500 fs) of the high-intensity PHELIX laser (200 J), which in turn were used for the first time to induce a nuclear reaction, by irradiating uranium-238. ...
