Research at the Institute of Radiation Physics
The institute is involved into the Research Fields of Matter and Health.
ELBE - Center for High-Power Radiation Sources |
The ELBE - Center for High-Power Radiation Sources and successfully combines research with user operations successfully. ELBE consists of a superconducting electron accelerator and two high-power laser systems, the ultra-short pulse laser "Draco" and a fully diode-pumped energy-efficient Petawattsystem "Penelope" under development. |

Research with Highest Electromagnetic Field |
Within the scope of this topic is the understanding and description of matter under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. The institute of radiation physics coordinates the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Field (HIBEF). |

Detector Technologies and Systemse |
Understanding the interactions between high-energy radiation and matter requires highly sensitive detector systems. For the research on extreme lengths, time and energy scales new concepts are developed in our institute. |
