End of September 2021, the 12m long superconducting magnet system of PERC was finally delivered to FRM II.

In the last years, lithium ion batteries have spread widely, in particular in mobile applications and in the electromobility sector. New concepts and materials emerge rapidly. These need to be characterized and their interplay needs to be understood in order to increase the efficiency and the lifespan of batteries built upon them. A collaboration of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz…

Closing Convention of the DFG Priority Program 1491 -  Precision Experiments in Particle and Astrophysics with Cold and Ultracold Neutrons 30 October - 03 November 2017 Science and Study Center Monastery Raitenhaslach The aim of this Priority Program is to address basic open questions in particle and astrophysics using a specific tool: the neutron, which allows the search for…

The production of the vacuum system of the 12m long superconducting magnet system for PERC is finished. The photograph shows the system ready for the helium leak tests. The magnetic field of PERC will be mostly aligned with the long axis of the cryostat. In the back the so-called feeder tower can be seen, which will host the many interfaces between the cold environment in the…
