The idea behind the Bachelor lecture series is to show our Bachelor students the many scientific opportunities here in Mainz, especially in the PRISMA++<\/sup> Cluster of Excellence. Knowledge of physics from higher bachelor semesters is not required. After the lectures, students will have the opportunity to make contact with the lecturers over food and drink. The Bachelor’s lecture series was resumed in December 2021 after the Corona break. Two lectures per semester are planned for the future. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It has been known for some time from animal experiments on storage rings that healthy tissue becomes significantly more resistant to radiation doses when spatially microstructured X-rays are used. This makes it possible to effectively combat cancer cells and minimize the negative side effects of radiotherapy.Due to the size of the storage rings – at least several hundred meters in circumference – it has not been possible to exploit this effect in clinical practice until now. Here, the “line focus X-ray tube” developed in Mainz has shown that the transfer into practice could succeed with a system that is almost two orders of magnitude smaller. Theoretical Nuclear Physics and Accelerator Physics will be presented in the lecture and the remaining challenges will be described. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordion>\n\n

Have you ever wondered how the world around you came into being? How did the universe develop as we see it today? Thanks to two revolutionary scientific developments of the 20th century – quantum field theory and general relativity – we are able to understand the evolution of the early universe and make quantitative predictions that can be compared with increasingly precise experiments. Cosmology, once a field of speculation, has developed into a precision science. Nevertheless, many questions remain unanswered, as we are only at the beginning of an exciting journey of discovery. <\/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 \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\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 \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\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 \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\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 \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\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 \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\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 \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\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 \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\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
