Research & Competence Fields

PIER concentrates on four pioneering research fields and two areas of expertise that form interdisciplinary networks between the research fields.

The four PIER research fields:

Research Teams

Particle and Astroparticle Physics
 

Thanks to the collaboration between Universität Hamburg (UHH) and DESY research centre, Hamburg is recognised internationally as one of the most powerful and highly regarded German sites for high-energy physics.

The two PIER competence fields:

Research Teams
Accelerators
 

The DESY research centre is one of the world’s leading institutes when it comes to building and operating large particle accelerators. DESY and Universität Hamburg have been closely collaborating on accelerator research for decades. Together, the two partners develop new technologies and study accelerator physics at existing facilities.
