Programme Structure

Research areas: Bonn focusses on particle physics (both experiment and theory), condensed matter and photonics, and astronomy/astrophysics. The department runs its own electron accelerator (ELSA) and a cyclotron. In Cologne, research is on astrophysics and cosmology, condensed matter and statistical physics, biophysics, and experimental nuclear physics using an in-house tandem accelerator. One of the particular strengths of Cologne physics is theoretical research in condensed matter and statistical physics.
