GRK 36:  Experimental Techniques in Nuclear und Particle Physics

• Subject Area: Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 1998 to 2003
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 269145

The research training group focuses on the development and application of new technological and methodical concepts for experiments in nuclear and particle physics. It offers a broad education in physics as well as in electronics and hardware informatics. The seminars and meetings provide a forum to exchange information on the experience with new detectors, analysis techniques and computing concepts that are vital for the operation of currently running experiments and/or the design of new experiments or upgrades. The  interdisciplinary exchange from the basic physics ideas of the  detection principle to the application of new electronics and  computing architectures is one of the highlights of the graduate course. The members of the course get in several areas into contact  with the frontiers of current technologies.
