ATLAS is an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle ...   [more]   Belle Dr. Hans-Günther Moser In the SuperBelle Experiment (continuing the present Belle-Experiments at KEK, Japan) CP violation (matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe) will be investigated.   [more]   CAST Dr. Rainer Kotthaus The CAST experiment, installed at CERN, searches for axions being emitted by the Sun. The axion, a hypothetical particle which was originally proposed in order to solve the so-called CP-puzzle of strong interactions, is among the ...   [more]   CRESST Dr. Franz Proebst With the CRESST Experiment, physicists from around Europe are searching for a new form of matter, the Dark Matter. This is believed to be the missing matter of the universe. To search for this matter, novel detection methods ...   [more]   GERDA Prof. Dr. Allen Caldwell Dr. Iris Abt Dr. Béla Majorovits GERDA, a GERmanium Detector Array to Unravel the Nature of the Neutrino Neutrinos play a fundamental role in our understanding of matter and the universe. They were postulated as ...   [more]   H1: Electron-Proton Collisions Prof. Dr. Allen Caldwell Prof. Dr. Christian Kiesling The H1 detector is installed at the HERA accelerator at DESY. The main research interest of the H1 collaboration is to measure the structure of the proton, to study the fundamental ...   [more]   International Linear Collider (ILC) Prof. Dr. Christian Kiesling Dr. Frank Simon The International Linear Collider (ILC) is the next large accelerator after LHC. It will be built in the frame of a world-wide co-operative effort. Scientific questions addressed will be precision ...   [more]   JADE Prof. Dr. Siegfried Bethke The JADE experiment was one of the experiments located at the PETRA e+e- collider and storage ring at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. The experiment took data between 1979 and 1986 in the electron-positron center-of-mass energy ...   [more]   MAGIC Prof Dr. Masahiro Teshima The two MAGIC telescopes, with a mirror surface of 236m² (MAGIC-I) and 247m² (MAGIC-II), are the world-wide largest Cherenkov telescopes in operation. Thez are located at 2200m altitude on La Palma, one of the Canary ...   [more]   Muon Cooling Prof. Dr. Allen Caldwell Muon beam cooling is crucial for the feasibility of a muon collider. The nominal cooling scheme for colliders is based on ionization cooling, and for muons this is done at the energy range of 200 MeV. It is important to keep ...   [more]   Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Dr. Patric Muggli The research group "Plasma Wakefield Acceleration" is working at the MPI for Physics with the goal to develop plasma-based advanced particle accelerators. With this new acceleration technique the scientists generate a “charged ...   [more]   STAR Peter Seyboth In high energy proton-proton collisions, the hard scattering of quarks and gluons early in the collision leads to the production of jets, narrow streams of fast-moving particles that allow physicists to detect and understand the ...   [more]   ZEUS Prof. Dr. Allen Caldwell Dr. Iris Abt ZEUS is the second large multi-purpose detector at DESY's HERA accelerator. Like for H1, the research at ZEUS focuses on investigating the structure of the proton, on studying the fundamental interactions ...   [more] Print version   Top © 2013, MPI for Physics, Munich Imprint
