Moderne Experimente mit Kernen, Teilchen und Neutronensternen

What it is about

You will learn how matter is structured under extreme conditions, exemplified by neutron stars, and which experimental methods are used today to investigate nuclei, light baryons and strong interactions. In the end you can analyze the interplay of the four fundamental interactions in such systems and you will be prepared to contribute to modern experiments in particle and nuclear physics at large research centers.

What you will be able to do

• Analysis of the interplay of all four known interactions in neutron stars
• Advanced knowledge of nuclei and nuclear forces
• Understanding of light baryons and their interactions
• Knowledge of new experimental methods for investigating critical parameters of the strong interaction
• Familiarity with modern experimental research concepts and techniques for investigating nuclear matter
• Classification of astrophysical processes contributing to the elemental composition of the universe
• Willingness to participate in experiments at facilities such as CERN and FAIR
