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 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.
The research programme of the Particle Physics & Detector Development group is characterised by the study of the fundamental building blocks of matter, their properties, dynamics and interactions.
