Anna Nelles, who is both a professor at ECAP and a scientist at DESY, has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant worth 1.5 Mio EUR for 5 years. With the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) she is building a network of radio antennas to eavesdrop on extremely energetic neutrinos from space. E...
The Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics turned 15 years old in May 2023, time to celebrate the anniversary in our new ECAP Laboratory.
“The ECAP is just in its adolescence and I will be glad to come back and see it in adulthood five years from now” Prof. Christian Stegmann said in his jubilee...
From May 8th to May 12th ECAP hosted the first in a series of two workshops in multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics between the Astroparticle Physics groups of the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and the São Carlos Institute of Physics – University of São Paulo. The workshops are jointly funded by the Bav...
Twice yearly the H.E.S.S. Collaboration meets to discuss recent progress, both scientific and technical, and to discuss future plans for the H.E.S.S. experiment. At each collaboration meeting, the H.E.S.S. prize is awarded to an early career researcher who has made outstanding contributions to the e...
ECAP had the opportunity to welcome the science and technology counsellor from the Indian Embassy in Berlin, Dr. Madhusudan Reddy Nandineni, during his visit to FAU. International collaboration is a key aspect of many of ECAP's activities and we had a valuable discussion to strengthen scientific coo...
The Meter-wavelength radio astronomy community in Germany is organized in the German Long Wavelength Consortium (GLOW). One particular priority of GLOW is the operation of the German LOFAR stations. LOFAR is the world's largest low-frequency radio telescope and will remain so for the foreseeable fut...
Time to celebrate! The new ECAP Laboratory building was officially inaugurated last week. The ECAP can now be found in our brand new research building at Nikolaus-Fiebiger-Str. 2.
For more information about the official inauguration with ministers Blume and Herrmann please see the FAU press release...
With the beginning of October, Dr. Alba Domi from the University of Amsterdam and NIKHEF joins ECAP. She won a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Researcher Fellowship granted by the EU with her proposal: QGRANT – Quantum GRavity seArches with Neutrino Telescopes. This two-year project aims at using ANTARES, ...
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are the most energetic known messengers of the universe and can be used for testing the frontiers of physics. In particular, they are a powerful tool for searching for imprints of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV). ECAP scientist Dr. Rodrigo Guedes Lang has recently pu...
