Neutrino Physics

Kai Zuber is the Head of Department for Nuclear Physics at TU Dresden and the creator and leader of the COBRA-Project. He obtained his Ph. D from the University of Heidelberg, where he worked within the Heidelberg-Moscow double beta decay experiment. Prof. Zuber is currently a collaborator on a number of high profile experiments, including the SNO+experiment; the GERDA double beta decay experiment; the Borexino experiment at the Gran Sasso Laboratory; the COMET-experiment at J-PARC; and the ISOLTRAP experiment at CERN. In 2016, Prof. Zuber was part of a team of collaborators awarded the prestigious Breakthrough Prize for Fundamental Physics for his work on the fundamental discovery and exploration of neutrino oscillations, revealing a new frontier beyond, and possibly far beyond, the standard model of particle physics.
