Measurement of parity violation for different isotopes of atomic ytterbium agrees with predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics

Various future possibilities in hadron physics at CERN and in Europe

will be discussed by this working group with the aim to create an Input to the

European Particle Physics Strategy process.

EU announces first funding for Quantum Flagship program to develop quantum technology.

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and HIM are partners in two projects on quantum computers and quantum metrology

Internationale Kooperation nutzt durch Laser erzeugte künstliche Leitsterne zur Vermessung des Erdmagnetfelds in Natriumschicht der Atmosphäre

„Mensch und Kommunikation“ – das war das Motto des diesjährigen Mainzer Wissenschaftsmarktes.

Das Helmholtz-Institut für Physik Mainz näherte sich diesen Themen natürlich mit physikalischen Experimenten:

•  Kann man einen Schaumkuss, den man ins Weltall befördert hat, noch essen?
•  Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand, wer hat das symmetrischste…

Im Rahmen der ersten Kalttests der MESA Module kam die Infrastruktur zur Versorgung des HIM-Teststands mit flüssigem Helium ertmals erfolgreich zum Dauereinsatz.

In zwei jeweils einwöchigen Testzyklen wurden die Module erfolgreich auf 1,8 K abgekühlt. Dabei wurden insgesamt 13.000 Liter flüssiges Helium von der KPH über die 220 m lange NEXANS…

Sizes and shapes of nuclei with more than 100 protons were so far experimentally inaccessible. Laser spectroscopy is an established technique in measuring fundamental properties of exotic atoms and their nuclei. For the first time, this technique was now extended to precisely measure the optical excitation of atomic levels in the atomic shell of…

Precision measurements of “exotic atoms” may soon be able to unravel the mystery of the forces that neutrinos mediate between matter and antimatter. Neutrinos are weakly-interacting, nearly massless particles that were originally proposed by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930 to explain outstanding anomalies in the decays of neutrons to protons. Prior to the…

Watch the latest video of the FAIR construction site!

FAIR, the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, is one of the largest research construction projects of the world.

Since its foundation in 2009, many things have happened at the Helmholtz Institute Mainz: New research groups, spectacular research highlights, changes in staff or the construction of the HIM research buidling.
The HIM Progress Report gives an overview on all you need to know!

Here you can find an interactive version of the report. PDF-Download he…
