Heavy ions

A heavy ion represents any ion that can be made from any element on the Periodic table by stripping away its electrons and hurling it through space at a given velocity.

Hans-Arwed Weidenmüller

He examined nuclear reactions in the shell model under inclusion of continuum states and developed a microscopic statistical theory of nuclear reactions; this statistical theory (now known as transport theory) had applications to the interpretation of the particle accelerator experiments with heavy ions as well as on highly excited compound nuclei.

Peter Armbruster

His major research fields are fission, interaction of heavy ions in matter and atomic physics with fission product beams at the Research Centre of Jülich (1965 to 1970).
