Research and study

This is how you can research and study at Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld .

Visualization of public space on the future Campus West

There are various facilities on the research campus.

The facilities are for science.

Some facilities are from the University of Hamburg.

And some facilities are not from the University of Hamburg.

There are particle accelerators on the research campus .

Particle accelerators are devices.

The devices can be used to examine very small parts.

The parts are called: particles.

The particles are made very quickly in the appliances.

This is why the devices are called particle accelerators.

There are many different particle accelerators in the world.

But the particle accelerators on the research campus are particularly good.

The scientists can work with the particle accelerators.

And they can investigate many different things.

The scientists are working on various topics:

  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Biology
  • Material sciences
  • Artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is a technical term.

The short word is: AI.

An AI is a computer program.

The computer program can work independently.

The scientists often work together on the topics.

They use the same equipment and rooms.

This allows them to find new ideas.

And they can develop new techniques.

Campus and facilities for research

The research campus is a place for scientists from all over the world.

The University of Hamburg works there.

Many other universities also work there.

And many other facilities work there.

The research campus is getting bigger and bigger.

Today, the research campus is already an important part of Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld.

Many different departments work together.

They are making Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld better and better.

The positions are for example:

  • the Senate
  • Authorities
  • municipal companies
  • Universities
  • other facilities.

Learning locations outside of school

Pupils can experiment at Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld .

Research and teaching

PETRA IV: New X-ray light for research

The DESY research center has an X-ray light source.

The X-ray light source is called PETRA III.

The X-ray light source is a particle accelerator.

The particle accelerator is set to become even better.

The particle accelerator will then be PETRA IV will be called PETRA IV.

PETRA IV should be even faster than PETRA III.

And PETRA IV is expected to deliver even better results than PETRA III.

PETRA IV should also require less energy.

HAFUN

The University of Hamburg has a special laboratory.

The laboratory is called the Hamburg Fundamental Interactions Laboratory.

The short form is: HAFUN.

Various groups work in the laboratory.

The groups work in the following areas:

  • Particle physics
  • Astro-Physics
  • Mathematical physics.

The University of Hamburg is a university of excellence.

This means that the university is particularly good at research.

And the university has 5 important areas for research.

The groups at HAFUN are also an important part of:

  • the Quantum Universe Cluster of Excellence
  • of the MIN faculty
  • the physics department.
