Universal Linear Accelerator

Hassium — (named for the German state, Hesse) Hs at. wt. [277] at. no. 108. This element was first synthesized and identified in 1964 by the same G.S.I. Darmstadt Group who first identified Bohrium and Meitnerium. Presumably this element has chemical properties similar to osmium. Isotope 108 was produced using a beam of Fe projectiles, produced by the Universal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC) to bombard a Pb target. Discovery oiBohrium Bind Meitnerium was made using detection of isotopes with odd proton and neutron numbers.
