GSI and FAIR at “Highlights der Physik” in Hanover
19.09.2024 |
From September 23 to 28, 2024, the science festival “Highlights of Physics” will take place in Hanover. The central elements of the event are the large hands-on exhibition and science shows as well as a varied lecture program. GSI and FAIR will also be represented with a booth, offering facts and entertainment about the future FAIR particle accelerator facility, which is currently being built at GSI in Darmstadt. For all those who cannot attend live, there is an online offer with numerous live streams.
Two experiments will attract visitors to the GSI and FAIR booth on Ernst-August-Platz: Young and old can try out for themselves how a particle accelerator works and how the structure of matter can be investigated in order to learn more about one of the largest construction projects for basic research. If you can't be there in Hanover, you can still take part: Much of “Highlights der Physik” content will also be available to watch online via live stream. All live streams and videos can be found on the YouTube channel: highlights-physik.de/streams
Professor Harald Lesch will kick off the week-long physics spectacle on September 23 with his lecture “Sun, Moon and Stars” at the Theater am Aegi. The week of events will conclude in the same location with the evening lecture “James Bond in the sights of music” with Professor Metin Tolan and the Hanover Medical Orchestra.
“Highlights der Physik” are organized by the German Physical Society (DPG) and Leibniz University Hannover. In previous years, they have attracted up to 60,000 visitors.
Admission to all events is free. In some cases, free admission tickets are required. Tickets are available at highlights-physik.de/tickets. (LW)
