Theses

If you are interested in doing your Bachelor, Master, or Ph.D. thesis with us, get in contact with Dr. Kathrin Egberts or drop by in our offices 2.131 and 2.134 in building 28. Research areas for theses are:

  • The population of Galactic gamma-ray sources, details of the population modelling, the role of source confusion
  • Correlations on the multi-messenger night sky
  • Deep learning methods in gamma-ray astronomy
  • Talk with us about your own ideas!

Research for Master students (by arrangement)

  • Introductory Project Astrophysics: The students select an upper-level seminar and an introducy project in the same topic area. The topic of the introducy project generally corresponds to their specialization are for their Masters thesis.                       * Master of Science Astrophysics, module PHY-941 *                                                                     * Master of Science Physics, modules 941, PHY-941 *
  • Research training Astrophysics: The students carry out a supervised independent study and a guided lab in the field of the Masters thesis. The supervision and guidance are provided in regular consultations with the supervisor(s).                            >  Friday  12:00 - 14:00 / Golm, Bldg. 28, Room 2.28.1.024                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 * Master of Science Astrophysics, module PHY-942 *                                                                   * Master of Science Physics, modules 942, PHY942 *

Lectures

Winter term 2023/24: 

Particle Physics:

* Master of Science Physics, modules 731, 732 *                                                                                   * Master of Science Astrophysics, module PHY-735 *

Huge facilities, like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, aim at revealing the innermost structures of matter and the fundamental forces acting on these elementary constitu- ents. Over the past decades the standard model of particle physics has evolved from their ndings, and its last piece, the Higgs particle, was discovered only recently. This lecture will provide an introduction to particle physics and its standard model and discuss some of the experimental methods used to detect and study elementary par- ticles and their interactions. Finally, an outlook to phenomena and theory beyond the standard model of particle physics will be given. 

  • L / Monday 10:15 - 11:45 / Golm, bldg. 5, room 2.05.1.06
  • E / Monday 12:15 - 13:45 / Golm, bldg. 5, room 2.05.1.06  // biweekly
