Welcom to working group Hurck
Our research focuses on experimental hadron physics. We are involved in various international experiments, where we are active in both hardware development and data analysis.
Here you will find further information about the experiments, as well as vacancies for bachelor's and master's theses and possible doctoral topics.

Research interests
INSIGHT @ ELSA
The newly planned INSIGHT experiment at the ELSA particle accelerator in Bonn will focus on investigating baryons with strange quarks. To this end, experiments will be conducted using polarised photon beams on polarised targets.
GlueX @ JLab
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab in Virginia, USA, specialises in the search for exotic mesons. To this end, photoproduction reactions of a 9GeV photon beam on a hydrogen target are being investigated.
AMBER @ CERN
AMBER at CERN is a broad-based experiment at the SPS M2 beam line. The current focus is on measuring the proton radius and preparing for Phase II, which will be dedicated to kaon spectroscopy.
