Discovery Center – University of Copenhagen

How was the universe created, which inflation scenario played out in the first split second, what happened during the quark-gluon plasma era? What is the source of the mass spectrum of fundamental particles of matter and forces? These are the questions we ask ourselves at the Discovery Center.

Research
How was the universe created, which inflation scenario played out in the first split second, what happened during the quark-gluon plasma era? Research at the Discovery Center at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
NBIA
The Niels Bohr International Academy (NBIA) is an independent center of excellence hosted by the Niels Bohr Institute. Our mission is to attract the best and the brightest to Denmark and provide the environment to enable breakthrough research in the physical sciences and mathematics, such as astroparticle physics, biophysics, condensed matter, quantum devices, particle physics, cosmology, and theoretical astrophysics.
NICE
NICE is the National Instrument Center for CERN research. NICE supports Danish researchers in utilizing CERN's accelerator and detector infrastructure. Current activities include ALICE, ALPHA, ATLAS, CAST and ISOLDE.
Publications
Scientific publications by the Discovery researchers at the Niels Bohr Institutet.
icecube
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, embedded down to 2.5 km deep under the South Pole, is the world's largest and most sensitive ‘telescope' for high energy neutrinos. With a cubic kilometer of instrumented ice it is the largest particle detector in the world.
