Das sichtbare Universum besteht aus “normaler” Materie – also jenen Teilchen, aus denen wir, die Erde, das Sonnensystem und die Sterne in den Galaxien bestehen. Kurz nach dem…

On May 2 and 3, 2016, a workshop will take place at the MPP to open discussion on concepts for future electron-positron accelerators. These accelerators bring matter and antimatter particles into collision and are an important complement to the Large…

After the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 the particle physicists have been working even harder on the study of the properties of the Higgs boson and on the search for new particles. Particle physicist from all…

Where do the most important topics and trends in theoretical physics lie? This is the question to be pursued by internationally renowned experts at the symposium “New Developments in Theoretical Particle Physics.” The event takes place from May 18 to…

Die Erforschung von explodierenden Sternen (Supernovae) trägt maßgeblich dazu bei, die Entstehung des Universums zu verstehen: Während ihres energiereichen Todes schmieden diese…

Lena Funcke, Maximilian Totzauer and Sebastian Zell of the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) have been granted a special honor: Together with around 400 other young scientists from 80 countries, the two doctoral candidates will take part in the…

What significance does science have for our society? This question will be taken up at the Max Planck Institute for Physics in the new event series "Science and Society," which takes place for the first time on April 19, 2016. The opening talk will…

Mit Dr. Marco Drewes von der Technischen Universität München (TUM)

Die kosmische Mikrowellenstrahlung liefert ein Bild des Universums, als es ungefähr 300.000 Jahre alt war. Es ist quasi das erste Ultraschallbild des Embryos Weltall. Wir sehen auf…

First signs of life for the particle accelerator SuperKEKB: Lately electrons and positrons have begun making their rounds in the modernized facility of the Japanese research center KEK. The first collisions electrons and positron beams are expected…

How can accelerator experiments reach ever-higher energies? The AWAKE project uses a completely new technology to increase energies produced in particle accelerators by an order of magnitude. A key component was now put into place at CERN: a…
