The DESY scientists also conduct research in astroparticle physics, an interdisciplinary field that combines methods from astrophysics, cosmology and particle physics. Using spectacular detectors and telescopes, the experts are analysing exotic particles – neutrinos and gamma rays – that come from far corners of the universe and could provide information about fascinating phenomena, such as black holes, exploding stars and inconceivably intense eruptions of radiation.
