HE Group

Welcome to Prof. Schöning's High Energy Group


Our group is involved in several research projects in the field of experimental particle physics, with a focus on the study of fundamental particles and their interactions. This includes the participation in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the Mu3e experiment at PSI and the development of new high resolution Silicon detector technologies.


Our Research Subgroups

mu3e-exp
Mu3e

Mu3e is an experiment under construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), in Villigen, Switzerland. Its goal is to search for an anti-muon decaying into two positrons and one electron, \(\small \mu^+~\rightarrow~e^+ e^- e^+\). This decay channel would violate the conservation of the Charge Lepton Flavour, which is foreseen in the Standard Model only at very low branching ratios \(\small\mathcal{O}(10^{-50})\).

ATLAS

The ATLAS experiment is one of the four large experiments currently conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is a general-purpose detector, aiming to provide precise measurements of the Standard Model's parameters and to investigate BSM physics at the high energy scales reached by the LHC.

hvmaps-exp
HV-MAPS

The High Energy of the Physics Institute is developing High Voltage – Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HV-MAPS) for future particle physics experiments. Pixel sensors provide spatial information at micrometer precision for particles in the momentum range from a few MeV to hundreds of GeV/c.
