The H.E.S.S. model (scale 1:100) in the Haus der Astronomie
(on the Königstuhl) under the half-moon globe (formerly in
the Gentner lab) with installations for the open day of MPIA/
HdA on July 22, 2012 in which the MPIK participated.
Central IT Services
3.1 Scientific Service
The IT group manages the central computer infrastructure of the MPIK, which provides
central computing power and storage space for researchers. For this purpose several
computer clusters and storage systems have been acquired during the last years. Most of
this hardware is located in the new computer room, which was finished in the year 2010. In
addition the central IT operates services like mail and web and administrates the institute
network. Supporting users with the acquisition of desktop hardware and desktop software
installations has become a growing activity over the last two years.
Because of increasing computing power needs from various MPIK research groups, a
new Linux computer cluster has been installed in 2013. The cluster consists out of 160 dual
processor nodes with a total of 2560 processor cores and 20 terabyte of system memory.
Each cluster node is attached with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) connection to the
network. By using special high performance computing (HPC) optimized server systems,
where four servers share a common two rack units high case with a redundant power supply,
the whole cluster allocates only two 19 inch racks in the computer room. Very good energy
efficiency is an additional advantage of the new systems.
The cluster runs Scientific Linux 6 as operating system. The Sun Grid Engine is used
for allocating computing resources to users and running batch jobs on the cluster. Parallel
computing jobs are supported through the Message Passing Interface library MVAPICH2.
Two new cluster head nodes are used for interactive work like program development and
submitting jobs to the cluster batch queues.
The installation of a third Lustre file system in 2012 with 10 GbE storage servers almost
doubled the capacity of the parallel file systems to 2.3 petapyte. Together with additional
new NFS file servers, the total file system capacity available for users at the end of 2013 is
reaching 3 petabyte. To fully utilize the faster network speed of the new cluster all existing
storage servers have also been upgraded to 10 GbE. The improved network speed results in
a throughput of over 5 gigabyte/s for one Lustre file system while analyzing experimental
data. The throughput being over 5 times faster compared to the old cluster dramatically
reduced execution times for I/O intensive computing jobs.
With the commissioning of the new cluster in July 2013 the existing old clusters have
been taken out of operation. Nevertheless, available computing power increased approximately by a factor of 3 at the same time reducing energy costs considerably.
The installation of a new virtual infrastructure in 2012 was a major upgrade for the
central network services. The cluster, replacing six old servers and storage arrays, consists
out of four servers and two ICSCI attached storage systems. It runs many critical central
network services in a virtual environment. More than 40 virtual machines host services
for web, web proxy, authentication, domain name services, licensing, etc. By the use of
VMware vSphere 5 as virtualization software and vCenter Server as management software
the time for administration could be reduced compared to the old virtual platform. At the
same time availability for central network services has improved.

The library is a specialized library offering services
primarily to scientists working at the institute. Scientists from outside are welcome, and usage is possible
on appointment.
The collection of books increases continuously.
By the end of 2013 our catalogue listed 24 745 monographs and conference reports. About 5500 bound
journal volumes are available. In 2009 we became an
e-only library for journal content. Access to electronic journals is predominantly covered by the Grundversorgung, i. e. the Max Planck Society ensures a
permanent right to full-text access for more than
32 000 journal titles. Access to e-books is also
primarily guaranteed via the Max Planck Society.
We manage the documentation of the publication output of the institute via our institutional
publication repository PubMan (http://pub-man.
mpdl.mpg.de). Our workflow allows researchers,
secretaries, and the librarian to enter publication
data and upload full texts. The librarian performs a
final quality check. The intention of this electronic
document server is among other purposes to increase
the visibility of the intellectual output of the MPIK
and to contribute to the world-wide virtual repository of high-quality scientific information. PubMan
replaced eDoc in the beginning of 2011.
We also actively support various activities
(catalogue enrichment, e-books, virtual library,
open access, document ordering, electronic resource
management) of the MPDL (Max Planck Digital
Library).
Yet another task of particular importance is to
find, analyze, and present bibliographic and citation
information of scientists or institutions by using bibliographic data bases like SCOPUS or the Science
Citation Index (SCI).

Public Relations
The MPIK provides a variety of programs for the general public. The institute is attractive
for groups of visitors, for which the public relations team offers guided tours. Mostly, a short
introductory talk is followed by a tour to several labs, where sometimes explanations are
given by specialists, and occasionally talks by members of the theory groups – depending on
the interests and background of the visitors. In 2011-2013 we had 63 groups from schools,
universities, other institutions or private with altogether about 890 persons.
In all three years of the reporting period, the MPIK participated in the “Girls‘ Day”, a
Germany-wide initiative to motivate girls for technical professions; every April, companies
and institutions offer an action day for girls. Under the motto “the wondrous world of
quanta”, 30 girls (distributed in groups according to their school level) got insight into the
professions of a physicist, an electronic technician or a precision mechanic. Supervised by
mostly female staff, they performed experiments, saw original instruments and heard short
talks about research projects.
The “Saturday Morning Physics” courses, addressing high-school students at the
advanced classes and their teachers, typically attract about 100 persons and provide an
insight into the research at the Institute or related topics by lectures, discussions and occasionally guided lab tours. A part of the lectures was given by external speakers. One out
112
of the overall 9 events in the reporting period was
MPIK‘s contribution to the „Max-Planck-Tag“ on
November 11, 2011 (celebrating 100 years KaiserWilhelm-Gesellschaft/Max Planck Society). The
“Friday Morning Physics” comprised two talks and an
interactive exhibition, which covered contributions
from all divisions of the MPIK. In the afternoon, the
general public was invited to see the exhibition and
to hear 7 short talks by MPIK scientists.
Totally 60 press releases about outstanding scientific results have been released in the reporting
period. They were all announced online via the MPIK
website and in part via the central MPG website as
well as via idw (Informationsdienst Wissenschaft,
idw-online.de) and alpha galileo (www.alphagalileo.
org). Prizes awarded to MPIK members and appointments of MPIK scientists were also announced on
the MPIK web pages.

In 2011, a completely new designed and revised chamber.
edition of the Institute Booklet (in German and
English) was published and the descriptions of MPIK‘s research fields and infrastructure on
www.mpi-hd.mpg.de were adapted accordingly. Further, a number of revised or new flyers
about individual research topics were edited in the reporting period. The series of “MPIKNEWS” and “MPIK-NEWS intern” have been continued. All of the printed matter can also
be downloaded as pdf files from the MPIK web pages.
A novel concept has been developed for this Progress Report,
which for the first time covers three years. Following a major reorganization of its content, the previous individual contributions
have been cancelled. The present report contains solely extended
overview articles, each with a title page and a list of the most
important references; the annex is provided on CD only.
The showcase in the first floor of the Gentner Laboratory
has been arranged combining past and present mass spectrometry research at the Institute: cosmic dust research, atmospheric
physics and precision mass spectrometry using Penning traps. A
number of original instruments or components and models are
displayed.
In July 2012, the institute participated in the open day at the
Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie and Haus der Astronomie
(HdA) on the Königstuhl in Heidelberg, presenting the H.E.S.S.
project at the stationary 1:100 model, built in 2011 right to the
opening of HdA, and the MPIK as a whole. The HdA, literally
„House of Astronomy“, is a unique centre for astronomy education
and outreach in Heidelberg, operated by the Max Planck Society.
The MPIK was also strongly involved in the open day at the H.E.S.S.
site in Namibia and the inauguration ceremony of the H.E.S.S. II Title page of the Institute Booklet.
telescope in September 2012. Further, the MPIK represented the
physics MPIs in Baden-Württemberg at the 61st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting 2012. And
last but not least, scientists of the MPIK gave overall 18 public lectures at various external
institutions, among them 5 talks at the HdA.

3.2 Technical Units
Throughout the years 2011 to 2013 many development projects have been carried out in the
central electronics shop. Only glimpses will be given on the wealth of projects in oder to
illustrate the variety of fields of work.
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will employ many telescopes of 3 different sizes
spread over an area of about 1 km2 to reconstruct energy and direction of high-energy cosmic
gamma rays (see Chapter 1.1). In a novel fully digital camera proposal („FlashCam“) the
electrical pulses of the photomultiplier tubes (PMT) are continously digitized using commercial analogue to digital converters (ADC). In order to filter the interesting gamma-ray
„snapshots“ out of the background light, the digitized data is analyzed in so-called field
programmable gate arrays (FPGA). The interesting data can be readout via ethernet at very
high data rate (>
_ 3 GBytes/s) yielding a „snapshot-rate“ of a few 10s of kHz.
One key component of the FlashCam camera concept is the so-called motherboard
featuring a low-cost Xilinx Spartan6™ FPGA, Gbit LAN connectivity and two slots for
optional daughter cards. By adapting the firmware and plugging in specific daughter cards
all different board types needed within a FlashCam camera can be setup. The FPGAfirmware has been designed as well as the motherboard, a 12 channel ADC daughter card, a
DAC card. These boards are based on multilayer printed circuit boards (up to 14 layers) that
require advanced design and assembly techniques. Several 10s of motherboards and ADC
daughter cards have been manufactured and successfully brought into operation in 2013.
Due to its versatility the FlashCam motherboard/daughtercard system can be quite easily
adapted to many other applications. For the beam position readout of the new cryogenic
storage ring (CSR) one motherboard with one 12-channel ADC daughter card will be used.
This application additionally makes use of a low-noise amplifier.
Another possible application could be the readoutout of the GERDA phase-II germanium
detectors and PMTs. The PMT-bases of the phase-II active liquid argon szintillation veto
had to be re-designed due to the extreme radiopurity requirements. Therefore, new types of
components – foil capacitors instead of ceramics – had to be identified and qualified for the
use inside liquid argon. Another large-scale project (STAREP) is the development of a computer-controlled voltage source system with 25 channels for ion traps like PENTATRAP. In
order to fetch, store and manipulate single ions in such traps, the potentials inside the traps
ranging from 0 V to 100 V have to be set precisely and kept extremly stable because voltage
variations dilute the energy level measurement. Prototype versions of DAC-modules, controller, and voltage reference and supply have been connected to a trap in 2013.
STAREP as well as a steadily increasing number of other experiments at the MPIK
employs LabView™ for experiment control and readout. The central electronics shop offers
LabView hard- and software support and has developed many applications for the users.
The central electronics shop has also given support at external locations. One big
campaign was the installation of the H.E.S.S. II telescope drive control system at the site
in Namibia. This system had been setup and tested at MPIK before and was brought into
operation in spring 2012. Other external campaigns were the setup of the GERDA teststand
at HADES in Belgium and the Double Chooz PMT installation in France.

Precision Mechanics Shop
Apprenticeship Workshops
During the reporting period from 2011 to 2013 a total of 27 000 working hours have been
completed providing services for numerous research departments from manufacturing to
the final assembly of experimental laboratory apparatus. The precision mechanics shop is
staffed by 15 professionals who produce high-precision equipment tailored to the needs of
the research groups by using CNC machines or even meticulously handcrafting certain
parts. The machinists are thoroughly trained and educated as well as highly skilled and very
knowledgeable. They periodically receive ongoing training through specific and intensive
upgrade courses. New staff is usually recruited among the apprentices of the Institute’s
precision mechanics shop after their graduation. Right from the beginning of their vocational training these apprentices are required to become acquainted with regular tasks of the
precision machine shop.
During the years 2011 through 2013 twenty-one apprentices of
both the electronics shop and the precision mechanics shop have
successfully completed their vocational and practical training. For
five of them this led to a permanent job.
Based on excellent performance during the apprenticeship
programme two apprentices received the apprentice award of the
Max-Planck-Gesellschaft. In addition to that two apprentices came
in first at a competition hosted by the district chamber of crafts
and one apprentice even won first place at a competition hosted by
the state chamber of crafts.
Both apprenticeship workshops, in close cooperation with the
central shops did provide high quality assistance and service in the
support of scientific projects and research.
The excellent collaboration of both apprenticeship workshops Details of the Foucault pendulum in the astronomical
resulted in the restoration of the Foucault Pendulum located at teaching centre of the Helmholtz Gymnasium.
the Astronomical Centre of the Helmholtz-Gymnasium in Heidelberg. In large parts the
Pendulum has been newly designed, crafted and installed and equipped with a newly
developed control system.

5-axis milling machine DMU 80 Monoblock (center).
Since the development of laboratory devices for science is
highly complex, the management decided in 2011 to expand the
CNC section by investing into CNC equipment. Two CNC lathes
and a CNC 5-axis milling machine were purchased and installed
in a purpose-built room. In addition a CAM system was implemented thus facilitating the programming of CNC machine tools.
Using the CAM system, computer-generated design is fed directly
into the manufacturing system of the CNC machines. This new
approach resulted in creating a faster production process and in
improving the quality.
In the interest of quality control a 3D coordinate measuring
machine has been recently purchased. This machine permits the
user to make automated measurements of high-precision workpieces in one setting. The results are output in the form of CAD
data and may be checked and compared with the design data or
with the 3D master model manufactured in the engineering design
office. The results also enable the scientists to check the accuracy
of their calculations thus helping them to decide whether adjusting
or amending is needed.
A large number of mechanical components for a diversity of projects
of all the experimental divisions of the Institute have been constructed in the engineering design office. Major construction tasks
that could be finalized in the reporting period were, among others,
the projects CSR (Chapter 2.3), PENTATRAP (Chapter 2.1),
H.E.S.S. II (Chapter 1.1), GERDA (Chapter 1.4), and GeMPI 3
(Chapter 1.4).
3D assemblies and parts were modelled using the CAD software
‚SolidWorks‘ and ‚SolidWorks-Simulation‘ was the standard tool for
calculations. Besides enineering drawings, also 3D models of the
components were delivered to the workshops in order to optimize
the programming of the manufacturing machines with the aid of
compatible CAM software.

International Max Planck Research Schools
How to reach the Institute
The MPIK is involved in three International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS). Two
of them are organized by the institute, while the third one is coordinated by the MPI for
Astronomy. The latter is an independent part of the Heidelberg Graduate School of Fundamental Physics (HGSFP) at the University of Heidelberg. The physics students of the two
other IMPRS are also included in the HGSFP.
By car: Autobahn A5 from the north until Autobahnkreuz Heidelberg, turn to A656 (from Mannheim)
direction Heidelberg; at the end of the Autobahn
turn right (direction “Zentrum, Altstadt, Schloss”),
keep straight ahead at the main station and follow
Kurfürstenanlage until Adenauerplatz (hotel Crowne
Plaza), turn right into Rohrbacher Straße, after
about 1 km turn left into Steigerweg, and follow the
direction signs to Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik
about 2.5 km uphill.
From the south leave A5 at the exit Heidelberg/Schwetzingen, turn on B535 direction Heidelberg/Leimen, then right direction Leimen and
keep straight ahead for about 4.5 km (at last uphill)
to the Aral station, there turn left to Boxberg and
follow the direction signs to Max-Planck-Institut für
Kernphysik.

Institutional Collaborations
MPIK researchers participate in a large number of institutional collaborations, in part in
a leading role – throughout the reporting period overall 69 projects. By far the biggest collaboration is CTA with presently 173 institutes from all over the world and led by Werner
Hofmann. The second largest consortium is SPARC (108 institutes), followed by LHCb
(66 institutes), FLAIR, NUSTAR (both 46 institutes), and H.E.S.S. (41 institutes). On the
other hand, there are 35 collaborations with only one or two partner institutes.
