Tips

Hiker’s Guide through the Galaxy

September 13, 2023

The underground accelerator laboratory in the Felsenkeller, a joint initiative of the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden), has the task of deepening the understanding of the formation of chemical elements in the universe.

The location in the rock cellar was chosen because of its strategic advantages, as the uniform rock cover at a depth of 45 meters minimizes the effects of disruptive ionizing particles from cosmic radiation. The tunnels, which were once built for the Felsenkeller brewery between 1856 and 1859, form a system of nine underground chambers that form an ideal research environment.
