Less nuclear chaos than expected – Nuclear gamma-decays more structured than previously thought
2025/07/30
Darmstadt, Germany / Durham, USA – A research team at TU Darmstadt around Prof. Pietralla, has developed and applied a novel experimental approach that challenges conventional assumptions in nuclear physics. The data from a research project led by Dr. Isaak and analyzed and interpreted by Dr. Papst for his dissertation at the Institute for Nuclear Physics at TU Darmstadt, suggest that atomic nuclei may behave less randomly at high excitation energies than previously thought. Instead, special nuclear structure effects may continue to play a role.

TU researchers develop new method for a better understanding of quantum mechanical systems
A research team led by TU Darmstadt has transformed a difficult problem in quantum physics into a much simpler version through innovative reformulation – without losing any important information. The scientists have thus developed a new method for better understanding and predicting difficult quantum mechanical systems.

The ‘strange’ side of atomic nuclei

Professor Alexandre Obertelli receives ERC Advanced Grant worth €2.9 million
Unlike normal atomic nuclei, little is known about so-called hypernuclei, which belong to the category of ‘strange matter’. Prof. Alexandre Obertelli from the Institute for Nuclear Physics of TU Darmstadt wants to change that. His project, ‘When antimatter meets strangeness: a new era for precision hypernuclear physics’ (HYPER), is now being funded by the European Research Council (ERC) for five years with an Advanced Grant totalling €2.9 million.
