The Laboratory for High Energy Physics (LHEP) is a division of the Physics Institute at the University of Bern in Switzerland and is part of the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics. We conduct research in the field of experimental particle physics, with the main subjects:
High-Energy Collider Physics Neutrino Physics Fundamental Neutron and Precision Physics Development of Novel Particle Detectors Medical Applications of Particle Physics
Awards
Gaia Dellepiane and Ivo Schulthess have received the Greinacher Prize of 2024 for their PhD theses.
Research
The FASERnu paper on neutrino cross-section measurements has been selected for the Physical Review Letters Collection of the Year 2024. This prestigious collection highlights the most influential research published in PRL, with only about 2% of all the published papers selected for the collection.
Event
An interdisciplinary team came together for a remarkable installation art. In this space, it is possible to see, hear, and feel the messages from the cosmos - messages that are usually beyond our perception. The art installation was exhibited at the Ars Electronica Festival 2024 in Linz in September 2024.
The FASERnu team, led by Prof. Akitaka Ariga, succeeded to measure cross sections of electron- and muon- neutrinos at TeV energies for the first time. The result was published in Physical Review Letters.
