The PSI Laboratory of Particle Physics pursues fundamental research, addressing up to date questions in modern, accelerator-based particle physics.
Lab News and Scientific Highlights
Il Fondo nazionale svizzero sostiene la ricerca sui muoni
Un nuovo polo di ricerca nazionale al PSI. Il progetto «Muoniverse» permetterà di sviluppare ulteriormente la ricerca sulle linee di particelle elementari chiamate muoni, avvalendosi dell’impianto di fasci di muoni più importante al mondo.
ERC Consolidator Grant for Neutron Lifetime Experiment at PSI’s source for ultracold neutrons
Our collaborator Prof. Dr. Martin Fertl from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant, one of the EU's most highly endowed grants, to support the development of the next-generation neutron lifetime experiment.
