Die klassische Astronomie beobachtet den Himmel mit Licht im sichtbaren oder infraroten Wellenlängenbereich. Daneben spielen Teleskope für Röntgenstrahlung und Radiowellen eine…

Mit Prof. Dr. Martin Faessler von der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU)

Die Zeit zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft nennen wir Gegenwart. Die Gegenwart ist die wichtigste Zeitspanne unseres Lebens. In ihr spielt sich unser Denken, Handeln und…

On October 9th, 2015 the ceremony of the stone laying for the biggest Cherenkov telescope in the northern hemisphere, the prototype of the LST (Large Size Telescope) with a diameter of 23 meters, took place at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory…

Many experiments in astroparticle physics need to be protected from radiation. For that reason, they are frequently located deep under the earth's surface. For a new underground laboratory in China, the Max Planck Institute for Physics and the…

The search for rare particles continues unabated at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In fact, the LHC will not achieve its peak performance before 2025; by then the upgraded High Luminosity (HL) LHC will accelerate and collide considerably more…

It’s all about high-energy and astroparticle physics at Wildbad Kreuth from Oct. 4 to 9, 2015, when the Max Planck Institute for Physics hosts this year’s International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics (ISMD). Held annually since 1970, the ISMD…

Planets, stars, and galaxies form only the visible portion of the matter in the universe. Greater by far is the share accounted for by invisible "dark matter". Scientists have searched for the particles of dark matter in numerous experiments – so…

Kosmologen gehen davon aus, dass sich das frühe Universum in sehr kurzer Zeit sehr schnell ausgedehnt hat – sie sprechen von dieser Phase als Inflation. Damals entstand auch die Vorlage für das heutige „Design“ des Universums mit Galaxien, Sternen…

Five young adults have started their professional training at the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP). Training officer Engelbert Modjesch and members of the technical and Human Resources departments welcomed the apprentices and wished them all…

From Sept. 9 to 11, 2015, scientists of the CALICE collaboration will be meeting at the Max Planck Institute for Physics. In this project researchers are developing novel detectors to be used in future particle accelerators. The detectors measure the…
