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.

Special colloquium: Hadronic interactions at ultra-high energy

Start: 05/06/2024, 3:00 PM End: 05/06/2024, 4:00 PM Location: CP-03-123

On 06.05.2024 Dr Felix Riehn will speak on the topic ‘Hadronic interactions at ultra-high energy’.

Dr Felix Riehn from the University of Santiago de Compostela will give a lecture on ‘Hadronic interactions at ultra-high energy’ at the Particle Colloquium.

Abstract:
The Pierre Auger Observatory can be regarded as a large air calorimeter in a cosmic fixed-target experiment with beam energies reaching beyond 1020 eV, or equivalently a center-of-mass energy in proton-nucleus interactions of up to and beyond 400 TeV. As such Auger provides the unique opportunity to take a peek at particle physics well beyond the collision energies that can be obtained at the LHC. One of the key results of Auger is the discovery that these interactions of UHECRs do not behave as expected. Compared to simulations based on models of hadronic interactions, the air showers observed by Auger contain many more muons.
In this seminar I will present the muon measurements by Auger and discuss what they imply about the nature of particle interactions at the highest energies. I will further show how SIBYLL, one of the models of hadronic interactions, can be extended to describe the Auger data and how we can constrain such model extensions at the LHC.
