The European Physical Society honors Dr. Erik Heijne, Prof. Dr. Robert Klanner and Dr. Gerhard Lutz with the High Energy and Particle Physics Prize 2017 for the development of silicon detectors.

Exactly five years after the Higgs boson discovery at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, new studies of this particle, involving significant MPP contributions, are presented at the EPS-HEP conference in Venice. The results are based on Run-2…

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will be upgraded to ten times higher beam intensity by the year 2025, the high-luminosity Phase-II of the LHC, called HL-LHC.  It which will lead to a further increase of the discovery potential for new…

On June 24, 2017 from 10 am to 5 pm the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) invites visitors to its Open Day. Under the slogan “When two particles meet …” scientists show and explain the fascinating topics in particle physics.

The Max Planck Institute for Physics has a new Head of Administration: Andreas Hartmann succeeds Dr. Elisabeth Träder, who has now retired after many years of service.

What do physicists expect from future colliders? On their wish list, you’ll find not only higher energies, but also more accurate measurements than with instruments in use today. A workshop that takes place on June 1-2, 2017 at the MPI for Physics…

The Max Planck Institute for Physics is mourning the death of Dr. Gerhard Lutz. The physicist and head of the semiconductor laboratory of the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Extraterrestrial Physics (HLL) for many years has passed away at the…

Vladislav Kupriyanov has recently joined the Max Planck Institute for Physics as a postdoctoral research fellow. The scientist dedicates himself primarily to aspects of the quantization of string theory and M-theory and will collaborate with the…

With the passing of Wolfhart Zimmermann, former Director at the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP), in September 2016, the world of theoretical physics lost one of its most important and innovative pioneers: Zimmermann made outstanding…
