Prof. Annemarie Pucci's research group will be demonstrating the operation of a simplified set-up for measuring the conductibility of nanometre film. Finally, the University ASIC Lab and the Max Planck Institute of Nuclear Physics will be demonstrating the development of pipeline selector chips reinforcing and storing the signals from microstrip particle detectors. The group members in Hanover will be explaining the make-up and use of the Helix pipeline selector chip and exhibiting detector modules with integrated selector electronics. This is the question the University of Heidelberg will be asking secondary-school visitors to the CeBIT 2000 trade fair. Internationalisation in their research field means of course that physicists need to be conversant with the new media and with foreign languages.
Physicists are much in demand on the labour market.
Texts, images, films and the spoken word combine to provide a multi-media presentation of every conceivable aspect of a course of study at one of Germany's most eminent seats of higher learning. The most exciting part is without doubt the section on research. The Faculty has a broad spectrum to offer, from particle physics and applications in medicine, ecological sciences and electronics all the way up to issues of crucial import in cosmology and astrophysics. All the Faculty's research groups explain their concerns on this CD in the hope of arousing interest among their youthful audience for specific areas of this fascinating branch of science. The CD can be used on almost any conventional computer with an Internet browser.
