On Thursday, 3.10.2019, we will guide you through one of the world’s most modern research neutron sources.
Look at the reactor pool and learn more about the non-destructive investigation of matter with neutrons. There is plenty of information, lectures, films, games, Lego models of scientific instruments and the opportunity to have your own questions answered by our scientists:
- Who is working on the research neutron source FRM II??
- How does such a high-performance research reactor work?
- What is radioactivity and where do we encounter it in everyday life?
- Why are neutrons used for research?
- Why are radioisotopes/radiopharmaceuticals used for cancer therapy?
- Why can bacteria become resistant to antibiotics?
CURIOUS?
Then visit the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum on Thursday, 3.10.2019.
Access via the Faculty of Physics (James-Franck-Straße 1, 85748 Garching, Germany)
For guided tours please register in advance: https://indico.frm2.tum.de/e/Maustag2019
On the open day there will be guided tours through the research neutron source again. All visitors have to register and it means to be fast and not to come without a valid identity card!
You can already register for 03 October under the following link: https://indico.frm2.tum.de/e/Maustag2019
Very important: Please note our access rules:
- Minimum age: 18 years
- Valid identity card or passport (residence permit or driving licence are not sufficient!)
- No access for pregnant women and nursing mothers
- Sturdy shoes are strongly recommended (the visitor's path leads over long stretches of gratings!)
- No cameras or mobile phones (they have no reception anyway)
- Backpacks, jackets and umbrellas can be left for free in our wardrobe in the physics department
