    Welcome event is the official, central welcoming event for

    event takes place at the beginning of October, at the start of
    the winter semester. The program usually includes a roundtable
    discussion and an information fair, followed by the popular
    "Ersti-Party".
  * Unifest The Bonn University Festival With the University Festival
    in 2005, the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat took on a
    pioneering role in honoring its graduates. It was the first
    German university to break new ground by organizing a joint
    celebration for all graduates. The university festival with
    graduation ceremony and university ball has long since become an
    "institution". In 2020, the attendance parts of the University
    Festival unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the Corona
    Pandemic. The Unifest was unceremoniously moved to the digital
    space. This year, it will consist of a combination of a presence
    action in the open air on the Hofgartenwiese as well as digital
    offers (individualization of an own graduation video, placing of
    photos and messages, individualization of digital postcards).
    During the "Graduation Walk", which is planned for the last
    weekend in August, the graduates and their companions can move
    from station to station and take advantage of exciting offers.
    The highlight will be the presentation of the certificates in
    front of the main building of the university.

Protons are probably actually smaller than long thought Protons are
probably actually smaller than long thought

Study by the University of Bonn and the TU Darmstadt suggests errors
in the interpretation of older measurements

A few years ago, a novel measurement technique showed that protons
are probably smaller than had been assumed since the 1990s. The
discrepancy surprised the scientific community; some researchers even
believed that the Standard Model of particle physics would have to be
changed. Physicists at the University of Bonn and the Technical
University of Darmstadt have now developed a method that allows them
to analyze the results of older and more recent experiments much more
comprehensively than before. This also results in a smaller proton
radius from the older data. So there is probably no difference
between the values - no matter which measurement method they are
based on. The study appeared in Physical Review Letters.

The proton (red)
The proton (red) - has a radius of 0.84 femtometers (fm). Also shown
in the figure are the three quarks that make up the proton and the
gluons that hold them together. (c) Figure: Dr. Yong-Hui Lin/University

Our office chair, the air we breathe, the stars in the night sky:
they are all made of atoms, which in turn are composed of electrons,
protons and neutrons. Electrons are negatively charged; according to
current knowledge, they have no expansion, but are point-like. The
positively charged protons are different - according to current
measurements, their radius is 0.84 femtometers (a femtometer is a
quadrillionth of a meter).

Until a few years ago, however, they were thought to be 0.88
femtometers - a tiny difference that caused quite a stir among
experts. Because it was not so easy to explain. Some experts even
considered it to be an indication that the Standard Model of particle
physics was wrong and needed to be modified. "However, our analyses
indicate that this difference between the old and new measured values
does not exist at all," explains Prof. Dr. Ulf Meissner from the
Helmholtz Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics at the
University of Bonn. "Instead, the older values were subject to a
systematic error that has been significantly underestimated so far."

Playing billiards in the particle cosmos

To determine the radius of a proton, one can bombard it with an
electron beam in an accelerator. When an electron collides with the
proton, both change their direction of motion - similar to the
collision of two billiard balls. In physics, this process is called
elastic scattering. The larger the proton, the more frequently such
collisions occur. Its expansion can therefore be calculated from the
type and extent of the scattering.

The higher the velocity of the electron beam, the more precise the
measurements. However, this also increases the risk that the electron
and proton will form new particles when they collide. "At high
velocities or energies, this happens more and more often," explains
Meissner, who is also a member of the Transdisciplinary Research Areas
"Mathematics, Modeling and Simulation of Complex Systems" and
"Building Blocks of Matter and Fundamental Interactions." "In turn,
the elastic scattering events are becoming rarer. Therefore, for
measurements of the proton size, one has so far only used accelerator
data in which the electrons had a relatively low energy."

In principle, however, collisions that produce other particles also
provide important insights into the shape of the proton. The same is
true for another phenomenon that occurs at high electron beam
velocities - so-called electron-positron annihilation. "We have
developed a theoretical basis with which such events can also be used
to calculate the proton radius," says Prof. Dr. Hans-Werner Hammer of
TU Darmstadt. "This allows us to take into account data that have so
far been left out."

Five percent smaller than assumed 20 years

Using this method, the physicists reanalyzed readings from older, as
well as very recent, experiments - including those that previously
suggested a value of 0.88 femtometers. With their method, however,
the researchers arrived at 0.84 femtometers; this is the radius that
was also found in new measurements based on a completely different
methodology.

So the proton actually appears to be about 5 percent smaller than was
assumed in the 1990s and 2000s. At the same time, the researchers'
method also allows new insights into the fine structure of protons
and their uncharged siblings, neutrons. So it's helping us to
understand a little better the structure of the world around us - the
chair, the air, but also the stars in the night sky.
