Experimental Physics

Accelerator science aims at developing and advancing drivers for novel X-ray light sources, such as for the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser XFEL as well as for high-power-laser-based, ultra-compact X-ray sources that can be used for new methods in medical imaging applications.

The working group for astroparticle physics deals with the non-thermal universe. The research area of ​​neutrino physics lies at the interface between particle physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology. The gravation wave detection group works on laser interferometry and metrology for future ground and space-based gravitational wave detectors.
