About Karlsruhe School of Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics (KSETA)

The "Karlsruhe School of Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology (KSETA)" is the Graduate School of the KIT Center Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics (KCETA). Our PhD programme leads to a doctoral degree in physics, informatics or electrical engineering. With more than 300 scientists, KCETA bundles the research activities of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in theoretical and experimental elementary particle and astroparticle physics. It is one of Europeâ€™s leading institutions in these fields. The KSETA graduate school offers an inspiring interdisciplinary research environment composed of the fields of cosmic radiation, dark matter, quantum field theory, experimental and theoretical collider physics, experimental and theoretical flavour physics, neutrino physics and computational physics as well as the development of modern technologies necessary for these fields such as superconducting terahertz detectors, analogue and digital electronics, optical transmission technology and parallel signal processing on GPUs. We contribute key components to large-scale research projects such as AMS, Pierre Auger Observatory, Belle, CMS, DARWIN, IceCube-Gen2, KATRIN and XENON-nt, as well as GridKa (a German "Tier-1" centre). The graduate school provides an attractive research environment, with subjects for doctoral dissertations at the intersections of experimental and theoretical particle and astroparticle physics as well as engineering, in particular in the areas electronics, detector instrumentation, sensory, computer science, data management and data analysis. The school augments this with an individually tailored course programme for both physicists and engineers.
