Early career scientists at ECAP have been successful in the FAU emerging talents initiative.

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.

Enthusiasts and experts for the Julia programming language gathered at ECAP from 6th-9th November to pave the way for the use of Julia in High Energy Physics (HEP) in the first JuliaHEP workshop. Organized by experts from the field, four days were dedicated to tutorials, short presentations an...

Long Night of Science: Big success at ECAP Laboratory with more than 1100 visitors

From April 2023, Prof. Dr. Claudio Kopper joins the ECAP. He takes over the Chair for Experimental Astroparticle Physics and will strengthen the research at ECAP with his work on the detection and analyses of high-energy neutrinos. The research of the group will span astroparticle physics in genera...

At the current Collaboration meeting, the KM3NeT Collaboration awarded the first-ever Giorgos-Androulakis-Prize to ECAP early-career scientist Tamás Gál. The KM3NeT Collaboration meets online this week to discuss the progress and future plans of construction, operation and analysing the data of its ...

Gigantic hot gas structures are probably due to shock waves generated by past energetic activity Astronomers have detected a remarkable new feature in the first all-sky survey map produced by the eROSITA X-ray telescope on SRG: a huge circular structure of hot gas below the plane of the Milky Way oc...
