Nova outbursts are apparently a source for cosmic rays
The MAGIC telescopes have observed the nova RS Ophiuchi shining brightly in gamma rays at extremely high energy. The Gamma rays emanate from protons that are accelerated to very high energies in the shock front following the explosion. This suggests…
The international KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN), located at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), has broken an important "barrier" in neutrino physics which is relevant for both particle physics and cosmology. Based on data…
The construction of the COSINUS experiment in the underground laboratory at Gran Sasso LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso) is making great progress. The first large component has been erected in the last weeks. It is a water tank (7 meter in…
Giulia Zanderighi, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Physics is now Liesel Beckmann Professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). With this professorship, TUM honors outstanding female scientists whose careers serve as role models for…
The top quark is the heaviest of all elementary particles found in nature. The mass of this point-like particle corresponds to that of the comparatively of the much larger gold atom. One of the production sites for top quarks is the Large Hadron…
