SHIP lab to detect chemical elements

SHIP atomic fusion equipment used for creating new chemical elements at the Society for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) at Darmstadt, Germany. SHIP (Separ- ator for Heavy Ion Reaction Products) collides a beam of fast heavy ions (in tube at right) from the UNILAC accelerator into a target inside a chamber (pink). The atomic nuclei undergo fusion reactions to form new elements & forms (isotopes) of other elements. These pass through a fragment separator to a detector for identification. These elements & isotopes allow studies of the forces binding nuclei together. A GSI team led by Peter Armbruster discovered the 6 heaviest-known elements (107 to 112) during 1981-96. Photographed in 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cutting-edge technology and groundbreaking research conducted at the Society for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. The image captures the intricate setup of the SHIP lab, which stands for Separ-ator for Heavy Ion Reaction Products. In this lab, a beam of fast heavy ions is accelerated from the UNILAC accelerator and directed into a target inside a chamber. The collision between these ions and the target triggers fusion reactions that result in the creation of new chemical elements and isotopes. These newly formed elements then pass through a fragment separator before reaching a detector for identification. Led by Peter Armbruster, an esteemed scientist, the GSI team achieved remarkable milestones during their research endeavors. Between 1981 and 1996, they discovered six of the heaviest-known elements ranging from 107 to 112 on the periodic table. The significance of this work lies in its ability to shed light on how atomic nuclei are bound together by fundamental forces. By studying these newly created elements and isotopes, scientists gain valuable insights into nuclear physics and deepen our understanding of matter itself. This photograph was taken in 1997 at GSI's state-of-the-art facility, showcasing both their advanced equipment and dedication to pushing scientific boundaries.
