Opportunities for Students

The Laboratory of Particle Physics offers various opportunities to students for practical training, semester projects and postgraduate theses. This page is constantly updated and gives an overview of these possibilities.

Practical Training

Particle Physics Practical Course

Thanks to the collaboration with the PSI laboratory, it is possible to offer students of the University Zurich , ETH Zürich and University of Heidelberg the unique opportunity to experiment with real beams (primarily pions and muons) using the world's most intense proton beam. The students learn how to build a small, real experiment, including apparatus design, construction as well as data-taking and the final statistical analysis."

Semester Projects

Thanks to the shared professorships located within LTP, semester thesis projects can be conducted in our laboratory at PSI.
Concerning experimental projects, contact Klaus Kirch , regarding theoretical particle physics, contact Adrian Signer .
