Experimental Nuclear, Particle and Astrophysics

Prof. B. Krusche's group

The main current interest is in the structure of hadrons and in particular in excited states of the nucleon. The study of hadronic and electromagnetic properties of excitations of the free nucleon, e.g. with meson photoproduction experiments, supplies the experimental basis for the development and test of modern hadron theories. The investigation of nucleons bound in nuclei is exploited to study the influence of the nuclear medium on the excitation modes.
