Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Particles Colloquium: Probing Hadronic Interactions in Extensive Air Showers with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

Start: 04/20/2023, 4:00 PM End: 04/20/2023, 5:00 PM Location: Seminar room CP-03-123

On 27.04, Dr. Dennis Soldin will speak on "Probing Hadronic Interactions in Extensive Air Showers with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory."

Abstract:
Cosmic rays are charged particles that enter the Earth’s atmosphere where they in- teract with air molecules at energies of more than 10 times the center-of-mass energy at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. These interactions produce particle cascades in the atmosphere, so-called extensive air showers, which can be measured at the ground. The properties of the initial cosmic ray, such as its energy and mass, are inferred indirectly from the particles measured at the ground and their interpretation strongly relies on simulations of the shower development. In recent years, however, various measurements have shown large discrepancies with respect to current model predictions, indicating shortcomings in our understanding of particle physics which can only be explained in the context of unconventional or new physics.
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory (IceCube) is located at the geographic South Pole and it consists of a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov detector deep in the Antarctic ice, accom- panied by a surface detector array. This hybrid detector setup yields unique opportunities to study cosmic rays in great detail and thereby reduce the remaining model uncertain- ties. In this talk, I will review the current state of the field and present recent results of cosmic ray measurements with IceCube which provide important information about particle interactions in extensive air showers.
