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.

Dr. Alicia Fattorini successfully completed her PhD at our chair.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Alicia Fattorini has successfully completed her PhD at our chair. We congratulate her on this remarkable achievement! In her dissertation, she explored charged cosmic rays with the MAGIC telescopes. Her work is entitled "Hadronic Accelerators in the Universe".

Uncharged particles move in a straight line through space, so their trajectory always points in the direction of their source. Charged particles, such as protons, are deflected from their straight trajectories by cosmic magnetic fields. Finding the sources of these charged particles is one of the greatest challenges in astrophysics today. The MAGIC telescopes are two Cherenkov telescopes on the Canary Island of La Palma and were constructed primarily to study high-energy gamma rays. Dr. Alicia Fattorini investigated the possibility of using the telescopes to study charged cosmic rays in her dissertation. For this purpose, she developed the necessary analysis steps to determine a so-called "proton spectrum" from the MAGIC telescope data. The result of her analysis is the first proton spectrum from MAGIC data. A proton spectrum provides information about the energy distribution of the protons arriving at the telescopes.

The photo shows Dr. Alicia Fattorini after successfully defending her dissertation. She is wearing her PhD hat, which some members of the chair made for her. One of the two MAGIC telescopes can be seen on top of the hat.
