On the trail of the mysteries of the universe – research highlights from 10 years of the PRISMA cluster of excellence” … this was the title of a celebratory anniversary event held on October 10 at the Staatsthater Mainz as a special edition of the popular “Physics in the Theater” series. The two presenters and PRISMA+<\/sup> spokespersons, Prof. Dr. Matthias Neubert and Prof. Dr. Hartmut Wittig, took the guests on an exciting journey through time and around the world, looking back on important research highlights of the last ten years. The journey began in 2012 at CERN with the discovery of the HIggs particle, in which scientists from Mainz were also involved, and ended in 2022 in Mainz, where the new MESA electron accelerator is currently being built. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young scientists from the cluster in particular had their say, giving entertaining short talks and interviews about the Higgs particle, the puzzle of the proton radius, the hunt for neutrinos, the search for dark matter and the construction of MESA as well as the planned experiments. A new image film also premiered in the theater – and describes the PRISMA+<\/sup> research program with catchy statements and impressive images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

After a long break due to the coronavirus pandemic, the “Physics in the Theater” series will be back for the first time on Sunday, 21 November. As always, all those interested in physics can expect an incredibly exciting topic, because it’s about a world sensation: on April 10, 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (a global network of radio telescopes) published the first image of a black hole – a turning point in astronomy! In his lecture, astrophysicist Prof. Dr. Heino Falcke, a leading scientist in this experiment, will explain how this came about – from the first glances people took up to the sky to modern astrophysics, the exploration of black holes and the still unrevealed secrets of the universe – and what this has to do with him and us humans. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n \n<\/jgu-base-image>\n\n\n

The parliamentary evening “Dark matter, quantum computing, COVID vaccine: precision becomes innovation” will take place as part of the anniversary year “75 years of the reopening of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz” at the State Representation of Rhineland-Palatinate in Berlin and via livestream – with the opening of the exhibition PR\u00c4ZISION!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n \n<\/jgu-base-image>\n\n\n

Is the zoo of particles formed from quarks more diverse than the textbooks say? One possible candidate, passing six quarks, will be the focus of the third lecture of the “STRONG-2020 Public Lecture Series”, March 11, 2021, 4:00 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n \n<\/jgu-base-image>\n\n\n

In 2021, the lecture series will mainly focus on applications of physics in medicine, with particles, optics and rays. But theoretical physics will not be neglected either. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

The scientists Prof. Dr. Randolf Pohl (Mainz) and Prof. Dr. Jan Bernauer (Stony Brook) will jointly discuss the proton radius puzzle. The lecture will be held in English and marks the start of the new series “The STRONG-2020 Public Lecture Series”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-image>\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

At the premiere of the Big!Bang!Slam! – our physics science slam special – five young scientists from Mainz rocked the stage. They presented their research topics in a creative, entertaining and understandable way and took the online audience on a journey into the fascinating world of physics. And these were the topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
