Nuclear and particle physics – introduction and examples
The video titled "Nuclear and Particle Physics – Introduction and Examples" features Prof. Dr. Bastian Märkisch from the Technical University of Munich. In this presentation, Prof. Märkisch provides an overview of nuclear and particle physics, focusing on precision experiments at low energies to explore physics beyond the Standard Model. He discusses his research on neutron beta decay and the development of neutron optical components for experiments like PERC and Perkeo III. The talk highlights the significance of these experiments in understanding fundamental interactions and the pursuit of new physics beyond established theories.
NEPHEWS Project
(NEutrons and PHotons Elevating Worldwide Science)
Improved research infrastructure and scientific endeavours have the potential to propel innovation forward and significantly enhance the quality of life for populations. With this in mind, the EU-funded NEPHEWS project aims to broaden access to advanced neutron, synchrotron, and free-electron complementary research infrastructures across an expanding range of countries. The project will collaborate with its user base to develop a user-driven access program focused on enhancing the accessibility and usability of the research infrastructures (RI) for diverse communities. Additionally, it will offer a wide range of experiments, provide expert training, and conduct virtual and in-person workshops and collaborations. Finally, the project will facilitate political dialogue and advocate for research funding.
