This summer, the Mainz Particle Physics Academy welcomed 16 high school students from across Germany. During the ten-day program, the participants immersed themselves in the world of particle physics — attending lectures by JGU scientists, conducting hands-on experiments at our MAMI accelerator, and even building their own plastic scintillator detectors.

Organised in cooperation with the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence and supported by scientists involved in our CRC, the academy offers a unique opportunity for students to gain early research experience in an inspiring university environment.
