Research institutions
Listed below you will find our research facilities.
Bethe Center for Theoretical Physics BCTP
In the spirit of Hans Bethe the Bethe Center for Theoretical Physics fosters research activities over a wide range of theoretical and mathematical physics.
Research and Technology Center for Detector Physics (FTD)
FTD will serve as a hub for research units at the University of Bonn that are working on developing new detectors for proving the existence of the smallest particles in the universe.
Electron Stretcher Accelerator (ELSA)
The Electron Stretcher Accelerator (ELSA) features an electron accelerator as well as experimental facilities for studying the resonance structure of protons, neutrons and mesons.
Bonn Isochronous Cyclotron
The Bonn Isochronous Cyclotron was built by the Großwelzheim-based AEG-Beschleunigerbau between 1968 and 1970. It is the third machine of its kind, following in the footsteps of others in Karlsruhe and Jülich.
Bonn Isotope Separator
The Bonn Radio Isotope Separator gives many research units a unique opportunity to produce isotopes, separate them by mass and implant them into specially prepared samples.
