Research at the
Dresden Institute for Nuclear and
Particle Physics focuses on questions in particle physics using
a wide spectrum of methods ranging from particle accelerators over
nuclear and radiation physics up to theoretical phenomenology. Within
collaborations and scientific networks, we concentrate on the
characterisation of known particles like mesons and neutrinos,
e.g. at GERDA, and on the search for new Higgs
or SUSY particles, e.g. within ATLAS. The technology of high energy
physics finds its application in a cooperation of
the radiation physics
group with the medical research
centre Oncoray. There is also a strong local
cooperation with the Institute for Radiative Physics at
the Forschungszentrum
Dresden-Rossendorf.
The Dresden
Physics Department also houses the
Institute Applied Physics,
for Biophysics, Solid State Physics, for Theoretical Physics as well as the professorship for Didactics in Physics.
The lecturers of the Institute
organize special training courses
in Nuclear and Particle
Physics in close connection to the ongoing research activities of
our working groups as one out of four possible specializations within the academic courses of the Dresden Physics Program.
