The Cluster of Excellence PRISMA+ addresses the basic questions about the nature of the fundamental building blocks of matter and their importance for the physics of the universe. PRISMA+ consists of renowned research groups that work primarily in the areas of astroparticle, high energy and hadron physics, nuclear chemistry as well as precision physics with ultra-cold neutrons and ion traps. Conducting various new key experiments to study the fundamental forces and limits of the Standard Model is one of the main initiatives of the Cluster.

Dr. Stefan Schoppmann has a particular interest in a new class of liquid detectors. As a postdoc and holder of a Detection Innovation Fellowship, he has been undertaking the corresponding research at the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence since April 2022.
The Cluster of Excellence PRISMA+ announces scholarships for Students at Ukrainian institutes who have already started a PhD in the field of nuclear, hadron or particle physics and had to leave their country. Prerequisite is a master's degree in physics. The fellowship is initially limited to a maximum of twelve months but can be extended. For an application or further information, please contact prisma@uni-mainz.de.
The cluster of excellence PRISMA explores the inner structure of matter and the fundamental forces in the Universe. Learn more about the research and methods of its scientists.
PRISMA+ and its participating institutions aim to substantially contribute to the physics education of high school students of all levels at all grade levels.
Public lecture series organized by MITP. Renowned scientists present current research in a generally intelligible manner at the state theater in Mainz.
