Dresdner particle researchers receive new attention by the BMBF for
the search
according to the origin of mass at the LHC particle accelerator
The promotion of particle physics at the TU Dresden as a partner in
ATLAS experiment at the new particle accelerator LHC Geneva is of
Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) is further
expanded
been. Under a collaborative research from prominent
regional research network of the best departments, the
so-called research focus FSP-101 "Physics at the TeV scale on
Large Hadron Collider, the Dresdner involvement with a
Allocation of federal funds in the amount of nearly 1 million in the
period
2009-2012 supported.
The research area is BMBF-assisted "structure and
Interaction of fundamental particles "on the use and
Development of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC aligned. Michael
Kobel, holder of the Chair of Particle Physics at the Institute for
Nuclear
and Particle Physics at the Technical University of Dresden, once
outlined the tasks,
before the researchers are from the autumn when the first data from
the
LHC win: "What happens when high-energy protons
frontally collide? Emergence of this collision may yet
unknown particles? We find the origin of the mass of
Elementary particles in the form of a universe fulfilling the Higgs
field
or has the nature of alternative solutions such as additional
Dimensions of the room realized? Is there perhaps even including
Dresdner theory from our colleagues suspected last missing
Symmetry, the supersymmetry between particles and forces, to
demonstrate? "
More than 1800 scientists from 164 universities cooperate so
of the ATLAS detector can work successfully.
"Through the establishment of the BMBF-research priorities, we have
Possibility, in this international network of excellence
Advanced research jointly extremely demanding
Tasks over a longer period of time to edit, "says
also Associate Professor Arno Straessner, the affection together
Michael Kobel was able to raise and for the development of faster
Electronics for processing and transmission of data from the
ATLAS detector is responsible. "Not least is the
Zuwendungsbescheid education and research in Dresden
strengthened. "
