The working group is involved in developments on particle accelerators, technical nuclear physics and nuclear photonics. For this purpose we experiment at our test facility “Photo-CATCH” for spin-polarized electrons, at the in-house superconducting electron linear accelerator S-DALINAC and at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung. Outside Germany, we are establishing collaborations e.g. with Duke University in the USA or the new Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics in Romania.
Helmholtz Graduate School for Hadron and Ion Research
Particular thanks are due to Helmholtz Graduate School for Hadron and Ion Research, short HGS-HIRe. This program, funded by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association, is a cooperation between
- the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt,
- the Technical University Darmstadt,
- the Goethe University Frankfurt,
- the Justus Liebig University Giessen,
- the Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg,
- the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz,
- and the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS).
This graduate school offers various lecture and power weeks on current research topics and soft skill events to develop interpersonal skills. A travel program offers participants a grant to finance the visit of national and international conferences. Homepage: https://hgs-hire.de/
