p196 pi-heptomino hassler is a period-196 oscillator completed by praosylen on July 2, 2021[1] based on a partial result by David Raucci.[2] It consists of two rotationally symmetric pi-heptominoes interacting with each other in addition to hitting block and eater 2 catalysts. After a half cycle, it flips along a diagonal axis. At 66 cells, it is the smallest known period-196 oscillator by population.

Within a few hours of its discovery, Jeremy Tan found a 24-glider synthesis of the oscillator.[3]

Until the discovery of 44P49, several SKOPs consisting of this p196 and another oscillator were known. While the multiples of p196 have been beaten, the p196 by itself has not been beaten by anything using 44P49 and remains SKOP.
