Christmas Physics Show 2024
Physics professor Scrooginger doesn't think highly of other people: Colleagues are ungrateful, PhD students are lazy and students are dumb. So what should Scrooginger think of all the ghosts who appear just before Christmas, along with physics experiments?
The show “Eine physikalische Weihnachtsgeschichte” (“A Physics Christmas Carol”) will be performed on 19.12.2024 at 5 pm in the Wolfgang-Paul lecture hall.
Teacher training ‘From the Big Bang to the quarks’
Under the slogan ‘From the Big Bang to quarks: What drives our universe?’, an advanced training course for teachers and student teachers interested in teaching astronomy and particle physics took place on Saturday, 16 November 2024. The event was organised by PUNCH4NFDI and the Netzwerk Teilchenwelt (NTW).
First Observation of Top Quarks in Heavy-Ion collisions
The ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) reported the first observation of top quarks in collisions between lead ions in a talk held at CERN last week. Members of the research group of Prof. Dr. Matthias Schott from the Physikalisches Institut at the University of Bonn have been contributing to this new study. The observation of top-quark pairs represents a significant step forward in heavy-ion collision physics, paving the way for new measurements of the quark–gluon plasma that is created in these collisions and delivering fresh insights into the nature of the strong force that binds protons, neutrons and other composite particles together.
