The Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams (R3B) experiment at FAIR focuses on kinematically complete measurements, primarily involving atomic nuclei far from stability, using relativistic beams. The Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR), which R3B is part of, is a new convention bound international accelerator facility where Sweden is a share holder and a founder member. The R3B

After a Bachelor's degree in physics, you may want to continue to broaden and deepen your knowledge and apply for a two-year master's degree in physics. There are two specialisations on the master programme in physics centered around research at our division, which are offered by the Department of Physics: the master programme with specialisation in Theoretical physics, and the master programme wi

We are working towards establishing a research program in fundamental physics at ESS together with colleagues. Our interest is primarily in neutrino physics at low energies, but we are also involved in exploring the possibilities for a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. When the ESS linear accelerator reaches its nominal power it will be the primary high-intensity proton machine in the

The Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics offers a postgraduate education - a PhD education - equivalent to four years of full-time studies (240 credits or ECTS). The programme consists of both courses and thesis work. The research thesis can be written in the wide range of subjects, represented in the different research areas represented in the Division. After completion, the student receives

The Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics participates in several programmes for undergraduate students during the summer. Typically, the programmes offer students paid or subsidised internships to work on research projects, accompanied by lecture or seminar series. Three major programmes are offered by the CERN, DESY, and FAIR-GSI laboratories. They are carried out at the places of the acceler

ALICE studies the primordial quark-gluon matter produced when atomic nuclei collides at ultra-relativistic energies. ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is an experiment at the 27-km circumference Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It studies the emergent properties of quarks and gluons at extreme energy densities produced when two atomic nuclei, such as lead-lead, are collided. QCD is the t

Research at the Division The Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics spans broad across subatomic physics and acts largely within international research environments. We conduct experimental and theoretical research with collider experiments. We are engaged in dark-matter searches, fundamental physics with neutrons, nuclear structure and nuclear reactions at the limits of nuclear stability, as we

The ATLAS collaboration has built and is now operating the world’s largest particle physics experiment at the 27 km long particle accelerator called the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN laboratory. The purpose is to explore the highest energy proton collisions that are available under controlled conditions in the laboratory. Through these studies one can increase the knowledge about the basic for

The Light Dark Matter eXperiment, LDMX The constituents of dark matter are still unknown, and the viable possibilities span a very large mass range. Specific scenarios for the origin of dark matter sharpen the focus on a narrower range of masses:  the natural scenario where dark matter originates from thermal contact with familiar matter in the early Universe requires the dark matter mass to lie w
