Particle beam target, GSI
Particle beam target for creating new chemical elements. This target is used in the Separator for Heavy Ion Reaction Products (SHIP) at the Society for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) centre at Darmstadt, Germany. The wheel turns so that each of the 8 thin lead targets around its rim are struck by a beam of fast heavy ions from the UNILAC accelerat- or. 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. A GSI team led by Peter Armbruster discovered elements 107-112, the six heaviest known, during 1981-96. Photographed in 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a particle beam target at the GSI (Society for Heavy Ion Research) center in Darmstadt, Germany. The intricate machinery is specifically designed to create new chemical elements through fusion reactions. As the wheel turns, each of the eight thin lead targets positioned around its rim are bombarded by a beam of fast heavy ions from the UNILAC accelerator. The resulting fusion reactions give birth to novel elements and isotopes of existing elements. These newly formed particles then pass through a fragment separator before reaching a detector for identification purposes. It was with this groundbreaking equipment that Peter Armbruster and his team at GSI made history by discovering elements 107-112, which were at that time considered the six heaviest known elements. Captured in 1997, this photograph not only highlights the cutting-edge technology utilized in particle physics research but also pays tribute to the significant contributions made by scientists like Peter Armbruster. Their tireless efforts have expanded our understanding of atomic structure and opened up new frontiers in fusion research. This remarkable image serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity as we continue to unravel the mysteries of matter and push boundaries in scientific exploration.
