Hadrons and Nuclei as Discovery Tools

CRC1660 aims to deepen our understanding of the strong interaction, which drives processes involving hadrons, nuclei, and atoms. The goal is to address fundamental questions: What physical phenomena arise beyond the Standard Model of particle physics and how can we measure and describe them?
