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. Karolin Hymon successfully completes her PhD at our chair.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Karolin Hymon has successfully completed her PhD at our chair. The title of her thesis is "Atmospheric Seasoning - Unfolding the Seasonal Variations of the Atmospheric Neutrino Flux". We congratulate her on this outstanding achievement!

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is an experiment located at the Earth's South Pole in a cubic kilometer of underground ice and is primarily used to study neutrinos. It detects both astrophysical neutrinos from space and atmospheric neutrinos. Atmospheric neutrinos are produced when cosmic rays hit the Earth's atmosphere. When the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere rises seasonally, the atmosphere expands, and more neutrinos are produced in it. This means that the neutrino flux is subject to seasonal variations. The temperature variations are greater at higher altitudes in the atmosphere. Higher-energy neutrinos are produced there, so the seasonal variation increases with the energy of the neutrinos. In the search for astrophysical neutrinos, the seasonal variation of the atmospheric neutrino flux is used to identify and calculate the atmospheric background. Another application is the testing of hadronic interaction models. In her PhD thesis, Dr. Karolin Hymon used data from IceCube measurements over the past 11.5 years to study for the first time the seasonal variation of the neutrino flux as a function of energy.
