Institute for Hadronic Structure and Fundamental Symmetries,
Department of Physics,
Technical University of Munich

The Institute for Hadronic Structure and Fundamental Symmetries of the Technical University of Munich is active in many research topics. It is involved in building up an ultra-cold neutron source at FRM II which will be used to measure the lifetime of neutrons with PENeLOPE and investigate the structure of the weak interaction of its decay with PERC. The institute investigates the two-body decay of the neutron with the BOB experiment at MLL. Furthermore, the institute is involved in COMPASS at CERN. With BELLE it searches for CP violation in heavy meson decays. Therefore, the institute also constructs a new very fast pixel sensor system for the new KEKB B-factory (Belle II).

Lehrstuhl für Produktentwicklung und Leichtbau,
TUM School of Engineering and Design,
Technische Universität München (TUM)

The research and teaching practiced at the Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design is about engineering design, i.e., the creation of concrete solutions to specific problems. Design problems where the solution and its elements are entirely unknown are particularly interesting for us. These can be solved applying a so-called top-down approach, where the focus is on the desired features of the new product rather than on already existing solutions or their elements. The lab covers a large span of different quantitative and qualitative methods ranging, for example, from new numerical optimization techniques from lightweight design to Design Structure Matrices from product development. Application fields for the core research include but are not limited to: Robotics, Automotive Engineering, and new products.
