Erlangen Centre 
The broad field of astroparticle physics is rapidly expanding. Numerous experiments explore different aspects of the physical processes that take place at the highest energies that are known in our Universe. The Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP) is involved in research in a variety of fields.
Neutrino astronomy
The Erlangen astroparticle group participates in two water cherenkov detectors that are or will be located deep in the Mediterranean Sea. The ANTARES telescope (Astronomy with a Neutrino Telescope and Abyss environmental RESearch) is currently under construction, while the EU design study for a cubic-kilometre Neutrino Telescope KM3NeT, coordinated by the University of Erlangen, has recently started.
Gamma-ray astronomy
The H.E.S.S. experiment is an Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) system studying the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation in the TeV-regime. The aim is to explore the production and propagation of high-energy particles in the Universe. The ECAP also takes part in the development of CTA, a future IACT.
Development of acoustic particle detectors
The Acoustic detection group investigates the potential of particle, in particular neutrinos, detectors which rely on the acoustical signal of the particle interactions in a detection medium.
Radiation Physics Group
The Radiation Physics Group is focussed on the application of pixelated detectors in the field of medical imaging and particle physics.
Astronomy
The Astronomy group is located at the Dr. Remeis Observatory in Bamberg. More information can be found on the pages of the Sternwarte.
Theory
Also some members of two theory groups, the group of Prof. Klaus Mecke and Prof. Thomas Thiemann and Prof. Kristina Giesel, joined the ECAP.
