New Research Unit on mathematical physics

The DFG will be funding a new Research Unit - Modern Fundamentals of Scattering Amplitudes - in the field of mathematical physics at the University of Bonn over the next four years.

The new Research Unit, whose speaker is Professor Claude Duhr, intends to study various aspects of scattering amplitudes, which link the theory with the experiment within scattering processes. In this way it aspires to discover new fundamental principles of mathematics and physics and develop new methods for calculating them. This will allow for more precise calculations to be made of scattering processes in particle accelerators as well as gravitational waves, which are produced when massive astronomical objects merge.
