Mainz Particle Physics Academy: Young talents explore the world of elementary particles

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 […]

Achim Denig joins the Steering Committee of Muon g–2 Theory Initiative

Achim Denig and Hartmut Wittig, both project leaders in CRC 1660, are members of the Steering Committee of the international Muon g–2 Theory Initiative, which coordinates theoretical efforts and key publications such as the widely cited White Paper. Hartmut has been part of the committee for some time, and Achim has recently joined. The initiative plays a central role in interpreting the latest, most precise measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.
