Prof. Dr. Pierre Capel (A04, A05) has been elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). Congratulations to the awardee!

Matthias Heinz (A04) received the Research Award and Julian Palmes (A03) the Master of Science Research Award for their outstanding PhD and Master thesis, respectively. Congratulations to the prize winners!

Moritz Kriegel defended his dissertation entitled “What do physicists do? Conception and evaluation of out of school learning environments to promote realistic ideas about physicists‘ vocational activities” successfully. Congratulations.

The award distinguishes outstanding thesis work performed in the context of radioactive beam experiments.

Alexander Tichai (A04) and Zewei Xiong (B01, B06), both members of the SFB, receive prestigious ERC starting grants.

The neutron-rich unbound fluorine isotope 30F has been observed for the first time in an experiment at the SAMURAI spectrometer at the RIBF in RIKEN, Japan. The measured neutron separation energy shows no sharp decrease after N=20 providing the most direct confirmation that the N=20 shell gap is not restored in this region of the chart of nuclides close to 28O.

Laura Renth defended her dissertation entitled „Collinear Laser Spectroscopy of Magic Lead and Mid-Shell Palladium Isotopes“ successfully. Congratulations.

Francesca Bonaiti defended her dissertation entitled “Constraining the nuclear matter equation of state from electromagnetic observables in finite nuclei” successfully. Congratulations.

Live-Palm Kubushishi (A05) defended his dissertation entitled „Exploring core excitation in halo nuclei using halo effective field theory“ successfully. Congratulations.
