In astroparticle physics we are interested in the constituents of the Universe, most notably the nature of dark matter. In our research we connect elementary particle physics, astronomy and astrophysics to explore the dark matter, both theoretically, but also phenomenologically together with experimental groups.
The ATLAS experiment detects the particles created when protons or heavy ions collide at very high energies in CERN's largest accelerator - the Large Hadron Collider, LHC. This is where the Higgs particle was discovered in 2012.
We build theoretical and computational tools for the interpretation and quantitative description of experimental observations - in particular those made with attosecond light sources.
Cosmology observation and instrumentation work at the department includes supernovae, the cosmic microwave background, and large surveyes of galaxies.
Within the area of astroparticle physics, our group focuses on searchers for particle dark matter with laboratory experiments, in particular employing low-background rare event detectors (XENON and XLZD) and searches for axion dark matter using resonant cavities (ALPHA).
The Atomic Physics division is pursuing experimental research in atomic collision physics dealing with interactions of positively and negatively charged atomic ions, molecular ions such as fullerenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), biomolecules, and clusters.
The European XFEL is a more than 3 km long free electron laser (FEL) commissioned in Hamburg 2017.
Research in the group is focused at the study of mesoscopic phenomena in condensed matter physics. Our research areas span over superconductivity (with emphasis on high temperature superconductors), low temperature physics, quantum electronics and spintronics, and nanotechnology.
Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon that allows the observation of quantum-mechanical behavior in macroscopic objects. Therefore, it can be employed for building quantum electronic components using conventional nanotechnology tools.
The group focusses on x-ray scattering, x-ray spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy techniques using synchrotron radiation sources and x-ray free electron lasers at facilities all around the world.
Gravity is clearly of critical importance to cosmology. It can also be used as a tool for the study of field theories for high energy and condensed matter physics.
HIBEAM‑NNBAR is a proposed two-stage experiment at the ESS, searching for rare neutron transformations. Discovering these could reveal why our Universe contains more matter than antimatter, with sensitivity a thousand times better than past searches.
Construction of the detector started during the 2004/2005 season.
Medical Radiation Physics is a vast and complex translational research topic that deals with radiation physics applied to medicine and biology for medical radiation imaging and radiation therapy.
The group works on a wide variety of topics involving photo chemistry, coherent control, polaritonic chemistry, ultrafast spectroscopy, and numerical methods related to quantum dynamics.
In the group, we use molecular dynamics simulations and modern quantum chemical calculations to investigate electrolyte solutions and solar cell materials.
The Bergholtz group explores the world of quantum and complex systems — what it is and what it could be — from the perspective of mathematics and theoretical physics.
We are interested in various aspects of theoretical quantum mechanics. Currently, our main focus is on quantum simulations using quantum optical systems and the theory of open quantum systems.
The Wilczek group explores several frontiers of quantum theory where new or hitherto impractical theoretical concepts are making contact with experimenters’ increasing ability to explore and control the quantum world.
Our research is focused on the field of quantum optics and quantum information. This include tests of quantum theory foundations, quantum communication, quantum encryption, quantum sensing, photonic-based quantum processor, and topological photonics.
