Promoter: Prof. Dr. Herquet Philippe
Presentation
The group is working since the early 1970 in the field of elementary particles physics, in particular using high energy accelerators at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva). The last five years the activities cover also astroparticles physics and in particular neutrinos from galactic or extragalactic sources.
