GRK 841: Physics of Elementary Particles at Accelerators and in the Universe

传统上，基本粒子相互作用的研究和基本相互作用理论模型的建立主要基于加速器实验。近年来，主要由越来越精确的观测引发的天体粒子物理学的新领域变得越来越重要。这个领域涵盖了天体物理学、宇宙学和宇宙线物理学中基本粒子物理学的各个方面。到目前为止，参加这个研究培训小组的各个小组的研究能力主要是在传统的基本粒子物理，更具体地说：硬过程物理和风味物理。这些也将是今后的主要研究课题。基于这一研究能力，研究培训小组的目标是考虑到新的发展。这不仅仅是通过讲座和课程来实现的：天体粒子物理学的研究已经在一定程度上进行了，这些活动将得到扩展，也将成为论文工作的主题。通过这种方式，博士生将接受培训，使他们有能力在扩展的研究领域进行一流的研究。

Traditionally, the study of the interactions of elementary particles and the construction of theoretical models of fundamental interactions were based mainly on accelerator experiments. Recently, triggered mainly by more and more precise observations, the new field of astroparticle physics has gained an increasing importance. This field subsumes various aspects of elementary particle physics in astrophysics, cosmology and cosmic ray physics. The research competence of the various groups taking part in this Research Training Group is up to now mainly in traditional elementary particle physics, more specifically: the physics of hard processes and flavor physics. These will be the main research topics also in the future. Based on this research competence the Research Training Group aims at taking account of the new developments. This will not only be achieved by lectures and courses: research in astroparticle physics is already performed to some extent, these activities will be extended and will also become the subject of thesis work. In this way the PhD students will receive a training that will make them competent to do first class research in the extended area of research.
