Humans have always sought to understand the evolution of the universe, its building blocks, and the forces between them. Today we know that the structures in the universe are closely linked to the fundamental interactions between elementary particles.
The KIT Center for Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics (KCETA) conducts experimental and theoretical research and teaching at the interface of astrophysics, elementary particle physics, and cosmology. Internationally anchored large-scale projects in knowledge-oriented basic research form the basis and unifying thread of the diverse activities. KCETA is thus a unique platform for research into the fundamental, smallest building blocks of matter and their interactions, as well as their significance and role in the formation and evolution of the largest structures of the universe. Scientists from various KIT institutes work together here to answer fundamental questions such as the origin of mass, the asymmetry between matter and antimatter, the composition of dark matter and dark energy, the mass of neutrinos, or the origin of cosmic radiation.
On Monday, July 3, 2023, at 6:30 p.m., scientists from the KCETA Center will provide insights into the research and work of the KIT Center in the Citizens' Hall of Karlsruhe City Hall. Learn how particle and astroparticle physics also shapes your everyday life and what the cloud, the energy transition, and the fight against cancer have to do with exploring the universe.
The Lord Mayor of the City of Karlsruhe and the President of KIT cordially invite you to this event coordinated by ZAK. Pupils are particularly welcome.
