July 2016: IsoSiM/HGS-HIRe Summer School

A summer school on "Isotopes for Science and Medicine" was jointly organized by IsoSiM NSERC CREATE (Canada) and HGS-HIRe in Schmitten on 25 - 30 July, 2016. Doctoral students as well as early career postdocs were discussing and learning about radioisotopes in different areas of research. Topics included material science, marine research, nuclear medicine and imaging as well as nuclear physics and astrophysics.

October 2016: HGS-HIRe & RS-APS Lecture Week on Atomic & Laser/Plasma Physics

This year's Joint HGS-HIRe and RS-APS Lecture Week on Atomic and Laser/Plasma Physics addressed innovative concepts for the detection of photons and particles. Hosted by Haus Ebersberg with its relaxed atmosphere, Michele Caselle (KIT), Andreas Fleischmann (U Heidelberg), Volker Tympel (U Jena), Michael Zürch (U Jena) and the participating students discussed together various aspects of this topic. Thanks to the enthusiasm of all participants this scientific event continues the successful series of our joint lecture weeks.

November 2016: HGS-HIRe Lecture Week on Nuclear Structure Physics

The HGS-HIRe Lecture Week "Gamma-ray Spectroscopy" tooks place in Laubach in the first week of November 2016. It is the seventh event in a very successful series of HGS-HIRe Lecture Weeks dedicated to nuclear structure physics. This year, Alfredo Poves Paredes from the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid discussed nuclear structure models on the theoretical side incorporating his great experience in the field while Jose Javier Valiente Dobon from the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro gave an impressively didactical overview of experiments dedicated to Gamma-ray spectroscopy.
