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...
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 general...
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 ...
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 scientif...
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 foreseeab...
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...
The Dr. Karl Remeis Observatory in Bamberg, which forms ECAP's astronomy research group, hosts a large collection of historical photographic plates. The lengthy digitization process of those is now finished, which finally allows astronomers to harness their contained research potential at large.
