It‘s not Rocket Science!? - Faszination der Photochemie
Newsletter Oktober 2024
Welcome (back) to the Flachbau, the wonder of Karlsruhe and hopefully soon a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its unique air quality.
If you're starting fresh or suffering from early-onset dementia caused by PCB, don’t worry: All important information has been compiled for you in the First-Year Info available at https://ophase.org/files/erstiinfo.pdf.
If your attention span isn't long enough for that, you can also read this newsletter instead (german only).

It‘s not Rocket Science - Grenzen des Machbaren: Von Kristallzüchtung zur Laserphysik
IRIS Pilot Project
This semester, the student council, in collaboration with the ETP, is launching a pilot project called IRIS (Independent Research and Innovation for Students).
The goal of the project is to support and, if possible, implement smaller research ideas from us students. If you have ever had an innovative idea while studying physics but had to abandon it due to lack of resources, now is your chance.
Possible projects could look like this:
- Do you have an idea on how to reduce the measurement error of a lab experiment through a new approach?
- Do you have a simple solution for a ubiquitous problem in research?
- Have you come up with a cost-effective solution for a known experiment?
- Do you have an idea on how to investigate an open research question?
- Do you have an idea for a program that simplifies data analysis?
Then apply to IRIS! Describe your idea in the application form and send it to iris@lists.kit.edu. You can find the application form on our website:https://fachschaft.physik.kit.edu/en/studies/iris-project/..
Do you not have your own idea but are still interested in the project?
Luckily, research is a team effort. If someone needs support with their idea, you are warmly welcome.
Are you interested but still unsure whether you want to participate?
In any case, sign up by email (iris@lists.kit.edu) to receive the latest information.
We invite all interested people to an information meeting.
The current plan for research of your project is to take place during the lecture-free period of this summer semester at dates to be arranged.
You have until July 12th to submit your idea. It will be evaluated by Prof. Klute and Prof. Ferber. After that, you should develop a detailed project plan so you can work on your project with the provided resources in August.
For a complete description of the pilot project, feel free to visit the website: https://fachschaft.physik.kit.edu/en/studies/iris-project/.
If you have any questions, you can simply contact us by email (iris@lists.kit.edu). These messages go only to us and not yet to the professors.
Best regards,
Marcus, Vanessa, and Sören
PS: If your idea is suitable, there is the possibility of turning it into a master's or bachelor's thesis.

Physiker*innen im Beruf
For the second time this year Physiker*innen im Beruf will take place on 12.07.2023!
Familiar atmosphere and format - but this time: company representatives based on your feedback from last year.
Among other things, you asked for 'more space stuff', 'more sustainability', 'something for meteos' and 'again similar' to last year and we tried to implement that and now have representatives from
ESA,
consulting companies,
environmental agency,
technology companies,
Quantum Simulation Start-up,
science communication with Experimenta
and more.
Come by, meet people and learn something about them,
what you can do as a physicist outside academia?
By the way: if you have some extra time on that day, we would be happy to have some helpers to make sandwiches etc. Just get in touch with us. :D
Faculty Party
Have you heard already? On 07.07. from 14 clock finally takes place again a faculty party. Yay🎉🎉
Besides drinks and food, we have a wonderful entertainment program to offer.
It starts with the super talented physicists theater at 14:30, who will perform their favorite scenes for us.
After that there will be a challenge at 15:45 where you can test your skills, creativity and efficiency.
Of course it wouldn't be a FS event without a pub quiz starting at 16:30. So grab your friends and challenge your knowledge.
Then at 18:30 there will be a warm welcome from the faculty and student council. This will be closely followed by a food break with music by Yusuf .
At 20:00 comes the absolute highlight of the evening: Profs DJ 🎤🎶 Five profs will demonstrate their DJ skills for you.
The official end is at 23:00
We are very happy if you all come in large numbers and bring lots of good mood.
Your best student council in the world 🦉🦉🦉
It will only be possible to sell with cash.
It‘s not Rocket Science - In the tunnel: Particle physics experiments
The next lecture is coming up. On 05.07. at 17:30 in the Lehmann lecture hall Prof. Husemann will give you an insight into his research.

Prof-Café
On Wednesday at 3 p.m. there will be another Prof-Café.
We will set up seating outside (if the weather is bad in the CFN foyer) and get together with a few professors for coffee and cake.
During the event you can talk to your professors and learn more about their experiences and research. This is a great opportunity to explore your academic interests and make valuable contacts.
Profs from APH, ETP, IAP, ITP, PHI, TFP and TKM will be present.
There is a list for the cakes in the student council, in which hopefully some of you will add your name so that there will be enough cake for everyone.
We look forward to your appearance.
Promovieren - Ja oder Nein?
Bist du hin- und hergerissen und überlegst, ob eine Promotion das Richtige für dich ist? Oder hast du noch viele unbeantwortete Fragen dazu? Keine Sorge! Komm zu unserem Event "Promovieren ja oder nein?" am 06.06. um 17:30 Uhr im Gaede-Hörsaal. Dort stehen Doktoranden der Physik-Fakultät bereit, um all deine Fragen zu beantworten.

Search for a new logo!
Dear students,
after a long time the decision has been made to create a new logo for the student council. This should not only make the student council more modern, but also lay the foundation for new t-shirts. Since you are all part of the student council and are represented at the university by the members of the student council, we would like to involve you all in this process by means of a logo competition.
Here are the details of the logo competition:
You are allowed to be creative and come up with suggestions for a new logo. We, the student council, have four small requirements for the logo, but they should not limit you. Until 31.05.2023 you can submit your logo via email to logo@fachschaft.physik.kit.edu including the logo as a file attachment. If you have any questions, we can be reached at fachschaft@physik.kit.edu about this topic. If there are still questions whose answers are relevant to everyone, we will also communicate this via physics-l and also keep the post on our website updated on this. Details on the further selection process will be available as soon as the submission phase is over.
We have the following requirements for a new logo:
- The new logo should be a vector graphic to meet the dynamic requirements of web & print
- The new logo should also look good in monochromatic representation, like a b/w printout
- The new logo should not be too detailed, so that it looks good in small sizes on the web (like 1cm x 1cm) or even advertising banners (like 1m x 1m)
- The new logo may have any shape, but should also look good in a round circle (for example, for an Instagram professional photo)
We are already very excited about your submissions!
