The new research group of Matthias Schott works on questions of experimental particle physics, in particular on precision measurements of electroweak gauge bosons, studies of non-perturbative effects of QCD, and the search for axion-like particles.
Why does the Universe contain matter? And where did all that antimatter go? These very fundamental questions are related to massive CP violation, and miniscule charge deformations in elementary particles (called electric dipole moments, EDMs) might be an approach to shed some light on these mysteries.
Prof. Dr. Simon Stellmer's Quantum Metrology research group celebrates the inauguration of the ring laser experiments on Thursday, February 1 from 13:00.
Physics professor Scrooginger doesn't think much of other people: Colleagues are ungrateful, doctoral students are lazy and students are stupid. So what should Scrooginger think of all the ghosts who appear with physics experiments just before Christmas?
The new show "Eine physikalische Weihnachtsgeschichte" ("A physical Christmas story") will be performed on December 21 at 5:30 pm in the Wolfgang-Paul lecture hall in German. Registration is open.
This December, Anne L'Huillier, Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz will receive the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”. On this occasion, the Physikwerkstatt Rheinland invites to a lecture for the general public on Wednesday, December 13, 7:00 p.m. in the Wolfgang-Paul-Hörsaal, Kreuzbergweg 28 in Bonn. Prof. Dr. Michael Köhl from the Physikalisches Institut will be speaking. Admission is free. Registration is not required. The lecture will be held in German.
In the week from November 6 to 12, 2023, research institutions and universities across Germany opened their doors to give interested visitors of all ages an insight into the fascinating world of the physics of the smallest particles. The University of Bonn also took part in this Germany-wide event as part of the Netzwerk Teilchenwelt and offered a varied program consisting of a 3-day particle physics camp for pupils in the Detector Physics Research and Technology Center and a film evening followed by a panel discussion for the general public in the Wolfgang Paul Lecture Hall.
On Friday, November 17, 2023, we had the enormous pleasure of hosting Grant Sanderson, author of the mathematics youtube channel 3blue1brown in the Bonn Physics Colloquium following a suggestion by the student council.
