Institute for Nuclear Physics
on the web pages of the Institute for Nuclear Physics (IKP) at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
We study and teach in the areas of nuclear structure physics, nuclear astrophysics, relativistic heavy-ion physics, plasma physics, astroparticle physics, accelerator physics and related fields in experimental and theoretical groups.
The IKP operates the Superconducting Darmstadt Linear Accelerator (S-DALINAC), various detector and targer laboratories as well as a . Theory Center
The Institute for Nuclear Physics is an essential participant in the research field (Matter and Materials) of the Technical University of Darmstadt. It is an institute within the M+M beside the Department of Physics and the Institute for Applied Physics. Institute for Physics of Condensed Matter
Experimentalists and theoreticians work closely together on a number of scientific topics.
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.
