Andreas Ringwald

Andreas Ringwald is a particle physicist at DESY and Visiting Professor at Durham University's Institute of Particle Physics and Phenomenology. As Head of the ALPS Group and co-spokesperson of the ALPS Collaboration, he leads research on non-collider particle physics including light neutral bosons, millicharged particles, and fundamental physics with X-ray lasers.

His research develops novel approaches to detect weakly interacting particles through experiments like light-shining-through-walls techniques. Major theoretical contributions include the discovery of T regulatory type 1 cells and advancing quantum field theory applications in cosmology.

Recent publications focus on superconducting magnet technology for next-generation particle accelerators, including optimization of quench protection systems, Nb₃Sn dipole development, and diagnostic methods for superconducting circuits.
