Scientists in Mainz have been benefiting from the unique research infrastructure on JGU’s campus for many years: JGU houses the MAMI and MESA electron accelerators (the latter coming soon) for precision experiments on the structure of matter, the TRIGA research reactor as a source of ultracold neutrons, the PRISMA detector laboratory for the in-house development and production of innovative detector components, the world’s only vertical wind tunnel for cloud physics experiments and, last but not least, the MOGON high-performance computers for calculating complex problems. Together, these resources help achieve very demanding research goals.

The faculty closely cooperates with various research institutions in the field of basic research. Scientists from the participating institutes benefit from this fruitful collaboration through numerous groundbreaking projects.
