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. ...
PD Dr. Stefan Knecht was awarded the 2020 Nernst-Haber-Bodenstein-Prize of the German Bunsengesellschaft for Physical Chemistry. ...
Nuclear and atomic physicists and nuclear chemists of Mainz University and GSI are closely involved in the EU Innovative Training Network on Laser Ionization and Spectroscopy of Actinide Elements Joint press release by GSI, HIM and JGU ...
Gaining a better understanding of the limiting factors for the existence of stable, superheavy elements is a decade-old quest of chemistry and physics. Superheavy elements, as are called the chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than 103, do not occur in nature and are produced artificially with particle accelerators. ...
Measurements in thorium-229 take a step towards the direct laser excitation of an atomic nucleus in this unique isotope ...
Scientists from Heidelberg, Darmstadt und Mainz publish results in „Nature“ Joint Press Release of the MPI for Nuclear Physics Heidelberg, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz/PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence, GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research Darmstadt and Helmholtz Institute Mainz ...
The International Year of the Periodic Table was celebrated in 2019. One highlight was the closing ceremony in Tokyo, where scientists from GSI and FAIR also participated. ...
On November 04, 2019, Raphael Haas won a "Giersch Excellence Award", sponsored by the Stiftung Giersch for outstanding achievements within the PhD phase. ...
Physicists have measured the energy associated with the decay of a metastable state of the thorium-229 nucleus. This is a significant step on the way to a nuclear clock which will be far more precise than the best of today’s atomic timekeepers. ...
