A project involving the study of low-energy (<10 MeV/nucleon), intermediate-energy (10--100 MeV/nucleon) and relativistic heavy ion reactions (>250 MeV/nucleon) is summarized. Attempts were made to synthesize element 110. The systematics of heavy element synthesis reactions were used to evaluate the opportunities for the synthesis of new heavy nuclei using radioactive beams. The interaction of 21--44 MeV/nucleon [sup 129]Xe with [sup 197]Au, evidence was found for a dissipative two body process like deep inelastic scattering being an important reaction mechanism leading to heavy residue[sup 3]He with [sup 154]Sm, fusion-like events were found up to 45 MeV/nucleon whose characteristics could only be described using modem transport theories like the BUU approach. In a complete characterization of the fissioning systems formed in the interaction of 22 and 32 MeV/nucleon [sup 16]O with [sup 197]Au, measurements were made of the fission fragment mass distributions, in-plane and out-of-plane angular correlations in coincidence with PLFs. Finally, U projectile fragmentation were studied at intermediate energies.
