In order to study the nuclear properties we excite them in nuclear reactions at particle-accelerator facilities and we detect their response with spectroscopic methods. At our Institut für Kernphysik at the TU Darmstadt we run the superconducting Darmstadt electron linear accelerator (S-DALINAC) and use it for our experiments.
On a regular basis we perform complementary experiments at external facilities, e.g.
- , Darmstadt GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung
- am REX-ISOLDE, Switzerland/France CERN
- (INFN-LNL), Padova, Italy Laboratori Nazionale di Legnaro
- (ANL), Lemont, IL, USA Argonne National Laboratory
- at High-Intensity Gamma-Ray Source (TUNL), Durham, NC, USA Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory
- , Somerset West, South Africa iThemba LABS
- Grand Raiden Spectrometer am , Osaka, Japan RCNP
Furthermore we are strongly engaged in the collaboration within the NUSTAR project in Darmstadt. In particular, we are involved in the experiments FAIR
- HISPEC/DESPEC,
- PRESPEC,
- AGATA.
We constantly offer various research projects for PhD studies, for thesis work (Bachelor of Science, Master of Science) or for initial research work (Miniforschung, study projects). Please contact us!
