International Cosmic Day in Bonn1
On the occasion of the 13th International Cosmic Day, students gathered at the University of Bonn to discover the world of cosmic radiation together.
Christmas Physics Show 20242
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’3
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 collisions4
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.
MINT-EC-Camp Particle Physics 2024: Young talents build their own small particle detectors in Bonn5
From November 6-8, 2024, a MINT-EC Particle Physics Camp took place for the second time in Bonn with 19 Participants.
University of Bonn participating in two ERC Synergy Grants6
The University of Bonn has been successful twice in the funding line for the Synergy Grants from the European Research Council (ERC) with other partners. The GravNet project is building a global detector network to search for high-frequency gravitational waves. The CeLEARN project coordinated by the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior – CAESAR aims to decode how single cells learn from their environment. The ERC uses Synergy Grants to support research groups in which different skills, knowledge, and resources are brought together in order to tackle ambitious research questions. The projects will receive several million euros of support in the next six years.
