Establishment of SLLS-Physik
The Saar-Lor-Lux study programme is founded in 1999. University of Luxembourg joined the partnership two years after the initial collaboration between the University of Nancy and Saarland University. In 2007, the old Diplom degree was replaced by bachelor/master.
The SLLS-Master was introduced in 2008 by the presidents of DFH, Prof. Dr. Jean Pierre Finance of UHP (Université Henri Poincaré) and Prof. Dr. Volker Linnweber of UdS. In 2004 the University of Luxembourg officially joined the SLLS master's programme as part of the integrated studies. The programme continues to grow and receives recognition since its founding. In 2008, the programme received the Saarland State prize for Higher Education , and became the first recipient of the Ars-Legendi Faculty prize in Physics in 2014.
We have more than 80 graduates continuing their studies or working in a professional field all over the world. For more about the Alumni network, visit the Alumnis page .
Our Logo
Our logo is a fusion between the German Physical Society (DPG), the corresponding colours of the three partner universities and an abstract representation of the Compton effect.From Wikipedia: "the German Physical Society (Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, DPG), whose history and tradition dates back to 1845, is the oldest and largest national Physics society in the world, with 62,000 members to date (January 2015)". On the website of DPG , you can find extensive information and news related to Physics both in Germany and around the globe. In the service section, there are also numerous links related to studies in Physics. Phi is the 21st letter in the Greek alphabets and the capital phi (Φ) is a generic symbol for Physics as well (wiki ). Greek letters are often used in Mathematics and Physics for notations. The colours of the logo represent the partner universities:
- black The first university is the
- red in the second year our students are at the
- dark blue and in the last year at the
- The two embedding colours
- orange und light blue bordering the programme with the
The Compton effect is a conclusive proof that light also exhibits particle-like characteristics. In the diagram a high-energy photon is scattered by an electron, thus losing its energy and resulting in a longer wavelength. See Wikipedia . In the physical representation, the length of the arrows indicate the corresponding momentum of the photon and the electron, which is conserved for both the x and y components. In our logo, we neglected the meaning of the length of the arrow to give ourselves more artistic freedom.
