About the Theory Group

The theory group studies the strong interaction at low and medium energies. Our activities focus on the theoretical interpretation of the experiments at MAMI and at other accelerator facilities. We use both analytical methods like effective field theories and dispersion theory, and numerical simulations of nuclear structure and of Quantum Chromodynamics on the lattice.

25th European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics

The 25th European conference on few-body problems in physics (EFB25) was held in Mainz, Germany, from July 30th to August 4th, 2023. Like previous conferences in this series, this conference was devote to the presentation and discussion of recent developments in the field of few-body systems, i.e., systems which can be understood in terms of a few degrees of freedom.This Conference focused on recent developments in the field of few-body systems in the areas of hadron physics, nuclei and hypernuclei, electroweak processes, nuclear astrophysics, cold atoms and quantum gases, atoms and molecules, as well as few-body methods and few-body aspects of many-body systems ...
