Welcome to the website
of the group of Prof. Dr. C. Weinheimer
at the Institute of Nuclear Physics
The group does research in nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics. The main projects are the KATRIN experiment at KIT to determine the neutrino mass and the search for dark matter with the XENON experiment at the LNGS underground laboratory. Additional projects are SpecTrap at HiTrap at GSI and the WITCH experiment at CERN. The group is participating at the international graduate school FANTOM.
