Antrittsvorlesung von Prof. Dr. Moritz Kütt: ADVANCING NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT WITH PHYSICS

Eight decades after the first wartime use of nuclear weapons, approx. 12,000 weapons remain and a new arms race is underway. Using physics -- e.g. muon/photon/neutron detection, environmental dosimetry -- and interdisciplinary approaches, the Hamburg Nuclear Disarmament Laboratory seeks pathways to a world free of nuclear weapons.It asks: How can we reduce nuclear risks? How can we verifiably eliminate nuclear weapon programs? How can we address the material and environmental legacies of the nuclear age?
