Beschleuniger sind Schlüsselinstrumente der Forschung. Konzepte und Komponenten, die solche Beschleunigeranlagen künftig nicht nur leistungsfähiger, sondern zugleich möglichst energieeffizient und nachhaltig machen, erforscht das Energy Lab 2.0 und die Beschleuniger Test Facility KARA im neuen Testfeld KITTEN. Die Einweihung des Testfelds war am 21. Juli 2022 im Triangel und am IBPT.

Enable particle accelerators to learn and get smarter. We strive to implement artificial intelligence methods at FLUTE as featured in one of the great scientific challenges of our time tackled by the Helmholtz Association.
The challenges that our researchers work on every day, make particle accelerators capable of learning.
Researchers study insects at the KIT Light Source (IBPT), among other places, and refute common theses of evolutionary research.

Each year, the Helmholtz Doctoral Prize is awarded to six young scientists, one prize for each of the six Research Fields (RF) of the Helmholtz Association. They conducted top-level research to identify and explore the major challenges facing society, science and the economy. For RF Matter, IBPT member Dr. Miriam Brosi (photo on the right) won for her outstanding doctoral thesis "In-Depth Analysis of the Micro-Bunching Characteristics in Single and Multi-Bunch Operation at KARA".

Twenty students will participate virtually to the one week training course at KIT on March 15-19, 2021. The European XFEL and KIT will jointly host and train them in a large variety of scientific techniques and methods available at the KIT accelerators FLUTE and KARA as well as the free electron laser XFEL. The lecturers will make them feel being on each of the respective sites and intend to generate a truly hands-on atmosphere.
