The solar magnetic field influences many aspects of the Sun, including its activity and its brightness variability. Solar activity manifests itself in numerous ways, such as the presence of sunspots and faculae on the solar surface, of a hot corona, bright flares and mighty coronal mass ejections. The variations in solar brightness are important for the atmosphere of the Earth, which receives...
In my talk, I will challenge the conventional division between foundations and applications in physics and explore how physicists throughout the history of quantum mechanics have applied the theory and extended its scope beyond its original domains. Rather than merely solving specific problems, many applications of quantum mechanics to new domains (scattering, complex atoms, molecules, solids,...
Relativistic heavy-ion collisions are a powerful tool to explore the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Under the extreme energy conditions reached within these experiments, nuclear matter undergoes a transition to a deconfined phase, in which the active degrees of freedom are quarks and gluons, known as quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The characterization of the QGP and its transport...
The detection and analysis of gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary systems rely on precise modeling of the expected signals. However, accurately modeling GWs emitted by coalescing binary black hole (BBH) and binary neutron star (BNS) systems remains a formidable challenge due to the complexity of the underlying physical processes.
In this talk, I will summarize my efforts toward...
In this contribution, we investigate the strong force in atomic nuclei, i.e. the way nucleons arrange themselves in a many-body system governed by the repulsive Coulomb interaction and the attractive strong interaction. We will focus on nuclear structure near nuclei with a “magic number” of Z protons and N neutrons, so-called doubly-magic nuclei, exhibiting a particularly stable configuration...
Laser-driven plasma accelerators can produce pulsed multi-MeV ion beams with high peak currents by irradiating solid materials with ultra-intense laser pulses. This innovative concept attracts much attention for various multidisciplinary applications as a compact and energy-efficient alternative to conventional accelerators. The maturation of plasma accelerators from complex physics...
The recent discoveries of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos and gravitational waves have opened new windows of exploration to the Universe. Neutrinos can escape dense environments from where photons can not reach us and travel undeflected through the Universe. In combination with measurements of electromagnetic radiation, neutrinos can help to solve long-standing problems in astrophysics and...
Quantum sensing, networking and communication, and computing have garnered significant attention due to their transformative potential and advantages over traditional technologies. The second quantum revolution has not only advanced technological frontiers, but also created a growing need for STEM graduates equipped with quantum-specific expertise. Preparing students to be successful in this...
In der Begründung zur Verleihung des Robert-Wichard-Pohl-Preises wird u.a. die Unterrichtsnähe meiner bisherigen wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit herausgehoben. Der Vortrag geht deshalb der Frage nach, in welchem Verhältnis die Physikdidaktik eigentlich zur Unterrichtspraxis steht und welche Randbedingungen dieses Verhältnis prägen. Aus der Analyse und Reflexion der Entwicklungen in der...
Seit 2011 ist das Schülerlabor PhotonLab die Anlaufstelle für alle, die mehr über Laser, Licht und Quanten wissen möchten. Hier gibt es viele Versuche, die Schülerinnen und Schüler nach Anleitungen auf iPads selber durchführen können.
Oberstufenschüler können in die Welt der Quanten eintauchen und von unserem Einzelphotonenexperiment bis zum Workshop Vom "Qubit zum Quantencomputer" an Hand...
New phemonena may be more difficult to spot at the LHC than commonly assumed. Unlike the Higgs boson discovered in 2012, which was identified as a clear, localised peak on top of a smooth background distribution, additional heavier Higgs bosons or axion-like particles could manifest themselves as much more complicated interference patterns if they decayed primarily to a top-antitop quark pair....
Algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT) assigns a von Neumann algebra to each bounded spacetime region, generated by the associated observables. Under reasonable assumptions, these algebras are all isomorphic to a specific von Neumann algebra of type III1 [1], leading to significant physical differences between quantum field theory and quantum mechanics. Recently, Chandrasekaran, Longo,...
Cancer treatment with radiation therapy has experienced significant innovations in the last two decades, leading to highly precise and personalized treatments today, allowing to deposit high energy doses in the tumor while sparing critical healthy tissue as much as possible.
Modern high-precision radiation treatments are delivered using image-guided radiotherapy systems. During this...
Euclid is a medium-class space mission led by ESA, with contributions from NASA, selected in October 2011 and successfully launched in July 2023. Its primary objective is to shed light on the nature of Dark Matter, which constitutes about 25% of the Universe's energy content, and Dark Energy, which makes up approximately 70% and is believed to drive the current accelerated expansion of the...
Large and powerful negative hydrogen ion sources (H-, D-) will be used at the international fusion experiment ITER to deliver after acceleration and neutralization energetic beams of neutral particles (H, D) to the tokamak. These beams will be used for heating and current drive, but also for plasma diagnostics. The inductively coupled plasma source (ICP) operates at low gas pressure (0.3 Pa)...
