Particle Physics

High-energy elementary particle physics investigates what the world is made of, in particular focusing on the properties of elementary particles and the fundamental interactions between them. For that purpose novel techniques in detector instrumentation and data analysis need to be developed.(More information)

Ion Beam, Thin Film and Nuclear Solid State Physics

Ion-beam techniques are indispensable today, whether they are employed in manufacturing new microelectronic modules, in the coating of surfaces, in manufacturing and analysis of materials, works of art, archaeological objects and biological samples or in medical therapy. (More information)
