Neutrons are an indispensable tool for science and industry to study the structure and dynamics of matter from the meso to the pico scale and from seconds to femtoseconds. An attractive way to provide urgently needed neutrons in the near future is to build efficient high-current, accelerator-based neutron sources (HiCANS) using pulsed proton beams. [...]

The research investigates two main questions in particle physics and cosmology: the fate of antimatter after the Big Bang and the nature of Dark Matter (DM). It focuses on studying Electric Dipole Moments (EDMs) in particles like protons and deuterons using polarized particle beams in a storage ring. [...]

The urgent need to address climate change has accelerated the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, with photovoltaics (PV) emerging as the fastest-growing technology in this field. By 2023, PV systems accounted for three-quarters of newly installedrenewable energy systems, highlighting their central role in meeting global climate targets. [...]

The wave-driven Brewer-Dobson circulation plays a crucial role in transporting radiatively active trace gases and aerosols through the stratosphere, which, in turn, impact the Earth’s radiation budget. A detailed understanding of this transport, particularly within a changing climate, is therefore critical. [...]

Transitioning towards greenhouse-gas-neutral energy systems and economies relies critically on renewable energy technologies. Hydrogen is indispensable both as an energy carrier and as a chemical reactant, and water electrolysis powered by renewable sources is a key pathway. [...]

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) thin films are essential materials for optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. High-quality layers of these materials are typically produced using vacuum-based deposition techniques, such as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). [...]

Der Individualverkehr mit PKW ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der deutschen Wirtschaft. Als Treibstoffe werden Kohlenwasserstoffe auf Erdölbasis verwendet, die bei der Verbrennung in Motoren neben anderen Abgasen Kohlenstoffdioxid erzeugen. [...]
