News from our group

Florian Manderscheid successfully completed his bachelor thesis "Feasibility study of 7Li photodissociation as a probe for the radiative capture reaction 6Li(n,γ)7Li" as well as his final exam and was awarded the title of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.).

During his time at AG Sfienti, he computed the neutron capture cross section for 6Li and implemented it in the MAGIX simulation framework to estimate the feasibility of such an experiment with MAGIX at MESA and a precursor at A1.

Congratulations!

As last year, the “AG Sfienti & Friends” team once again won the internal university competition with a total of 1609 km cycled in three weeks.
Many thanks to all participants for their great efforts!

Over the next three weeks (24.05. to 13.06.2025), every kilometer travelled by bike counts!

AG Sfienti supports the university's efforts for this year's Stadtradeln campaign with a team of seven to promote the use of bicycles in everyday life.
