Hassium (atom number 108Hs) was first synthesized in 1984 by a German research team led by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Münzenberg at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research (Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung) in Darmstadt(GER).
The team bombarded a lead target with 58Fe nuclei to produce 3 atoms of 265Hs in the reaction, emitting equivalent number of neutrons:
20882Pb + 5826Fe → 265108Hs + 10n

Keller, Klaus Poppensieker, Willibrord Reisdorf, Karl-Heinz Schmidt, H.-J. Schött, Matti Leino, and R. Hingmann from Gesselschaft für Schwerionenforschung (Darmstadt, Germany) in 1984.
