DESY Physics Research Committee
Welcome to the Physics Research Committee PRC
The PRC gives advice to the DESY directorate on all matters related to the particle and astro-particle physics programme at DESY. At present the programme is focussed on the ongoing analysis of the HERA data from the experiments H1, ZEUS and HERMES, the DESY activities at the LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS including detector upgrade projects, the R&D for the International Linear Collider (ILC) detectors, the currently running OLYMPUS experiment for elastic electron-proton scattering and the ALPS project - a search for axion-like particles. Moreover, the PRC reviews the strong activties in astro-particle physics which are mainyl at DESY site Zeuthen, such as the IceCube Experiment, the CTA project and further astroparticle projects with DESY involvement.
PRC-Chairs: Andrew White (UT Arlington) and Günter Quast (KIT)
PRC Scientific Secretary: Frank Lehner (DESY) - frank.lehner@desy.de
Next PRC meeting (73.PRC): 26/27 April 2012 at DESY site Hamburg

A technical Review of OLYMPUS was held on 15 September 2009 at DESY in Hamburg with the following Agenda.
Together with external members the PRC conducted a review on acoustic detection of neutrinos at IceCube on 28 April 2010 at DESY in Hamburg. Here is more information.
