Plasma Research

This Collaborative Research Centre explores how the non-equilibrium property of plasma can be transferred on contact with liquids and solids.

The Collaborative Research Centre combines the subfields of astrophysics, plasma physics, astroparticle physics and particle physics.

Astrophysicist Dr. Elisa Pueschel works at the Institute of Astronomy at Ruhr University Bochum.

John Bulava is Professor for Theoretical Hadron Physics at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at Ruhr University Bochum.

Professor Evgeny Epelbaum heads the Chair of Theoretical Physics – Hadron and Particle Physics.

Professor Hendrik Hildebrandt is Professor at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy.

The Ruhr Astroparticle and Plasma Physics Center was founded in order to combine research efforts within the fields of plasma, particle, and astrophysics in the Ruhr area.

This Research Department focuses on areas that have hitherto been virtually unknown and which are characterized by complex interactions of plasmas with their environment.
