Overview
About the program
The Precision Tests of Fundamental Symmetries research school at Heidelberg University is devoted to fundamental physics, which has the goal to identify, understand and explain the most basic laws of Nature.
The scientists involved in the IMPRS try to push forward the frontiers of our knowledge on fundamental physics both theoretically and experimentally, be it with low-energy neutrino and dark matter investigations, ultra-precise ion traps and storage rings, or with high-energy astro or LHC physics. Both theoretical and experimental perspectives are covered in the school.
