Chemistry of Hassium First Chemical Study of Element 108
An international team of scientists from China, Germany, Russia, Switzerland and the USA succeeded in investigating chemical properties of element hassium with the atomic number Z=108. With only seven identified hassium atoms, the researchers could demonstrate that hassium behaves like a typical member of group 8 (Fe, Ru, Os) of the periodic table. More...

Nuclear Matter - Is It Soft Rather Than Hard?
Physicists of the KAOS Collaboration at GSI have measured kaon (K+) and pion production yields in nuclear collisions of Au on Au and C on C at energies between 0.6 and 1.5 AGeV. The kaon multiplicities per nucleon are enhanced by factors of up to 6 for Au+Au as compared to C+C collisions. The relative enhancement increases with decreasing energy. This behavior is expected for a soft equation-of-state for nuclear matter. More...

GSI Presents Conceptual Design Report for a Future International Accelerator Facility
In November 2001, GSI published the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for a future "International Accelerator Facility for Beams of Ions and Antiprotons" . A volume of 700 pages, the CDR is based on a broad spectrum of workshops, working group reports and general discussions, organized by GSI and by the user communities over a period of several years.
