Research Areas
The research objective at the Cluster is the Universe: how it formed, how it has developed to this day and how it will develop in the future. From a scientific perspective, this overriding question is divided up into numerous individual themes, which are categorized into seven research areas within the Excellence Cluster Universe.
A: How do matter and forces behave at the highest energies?
B: What are the symmetries in the early Universe?
C: What is the origin of particle flavour and mass?
D: What are the phase transitions in the early Universe?
E: What is the nature of dark matter and cosmic acceleration?
F: What processes drive the building of the visible structures in the Universe?
