GSI scientific report 1994

The annual report gives an overview on scientific activities, technical developments and research work at the GSI (Darmstadt/Germany) in 1994. Experimental activities include the fields of nuclear heavy ion physics (synthesis and studies of superheavy elements, nuclei for off stability, nuclear collective models), atomic heavy ion physics (structure of highly charged ions, reactions with highly charged ions, electron-positron lines), heavy ion research on special topics (plasma physics, heavy ion induced effects in solids, biophysics with highly ionizing beams, heavy ion therapy) as well as accelator-experiments and -development. For the first time the nucleus "1"0"0Sn was produced and identified. The detection of the new elements Z=110 (with the two isotopes "2"6"9110 and "2"7"1110) and Z=111 (isotope "2"7"2111) gives new additional insight into the limits at the upper end of the periodic systems. The more than 20 years search of the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclei has been successfully finished by the established caloric curve for hot nuclei.
