Year: 2024

The Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP) hosted the week-long “P-ONE” Collaboration Meeting in the week of May 13-17, 2024. P-ONE, the “Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment”, aims to construct a multi-cubic-kilometre neutrino telescope in the Pacific Ocean in order to add to the world-w...

Just before Easter, 15 High School students visited ECAP to participate in this years IceCube Masterclass (https://masterclass.icecube.wisc.edu/, https://indico.ecap.work/event/74/). The day started with lectures in particle and astroparticle physics. After lunch the students visited selected ECAP ...

This year, the regional competition "Jugend forscht" Mittelfranken took place at the Department of Physics at FAU - hosted in the ECAP Laboratory. The young researchers presented their projects on analysing aspartame in soft drinks, the optimal cornering in karting and paper made from natural mater...

After a hiatus of a couple of years, Erlangen physics students had the chance to join a 3 day excursion to CERN. 42 students (accompanied by Prof. Dr. Anna Nelles and PD Dr. Robert Lahmann) learned about the history of CERN, visited the ATLAS control room, the Antimatter Factory, the CERN exhibit and various other places at the world‘s largest center for particle physics research. The trip was kindly sponsored by the Department of Physics and the elite graduate program of physics at FAU.

The Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP) hosted a workshop on the science prospects and optimization of P-ONE in the second week of January.
