Research Field Accelerator 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.

Research Field Astroparticle, Neutrino and Gravitational Wave Physics

The research field is focused on the various messengers of astrophysics and particle physics. We are developing experimental techniques and methods to study the high-energy universe (Horns), gravitational waves (Gerberding), neutrino physics (Hagner),  and dark matter (Garutti, Horns, Nikolopoulos)
