Christoph Hahn

Christoph Hahn is a Researcher at the Helmholtz Institute Jena (HIJ), a research institution in Jena, Germany, operating under the Helmholtz Association with primary collaboration from Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSU Jena), GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, DESY, and HZDR. The institute focuses on advanced photon science and quantum physics through dedicated working groups and experimental facilities including POLARIS, JETI40, and JETI200 lasers.

His research spans critical domains in modern physics: Laser Physics (particularly high-intensity laser-matter interactions), Atomic Physics with highly charged ions, X-ray Science (encompassing spectroscopy and polarimetry), Quantum Physics (including quantum field theory at extreme intensities), and Plasma Physics. These areas drive HIJ's mission to investigate relativistic quantum dynamics, strong-field interactions, and next-generation photon sources from EUV to mid-IR spectra.

Christoph Hahn contributes to HIJ's operational framework alongside specialized teams managing facilities like the External Storage Ring (ESR), HITRAP, and CRYRING@ESR. His work supports the institute's integration within broader scientific networks including the Research School of Advanced Photon Science and partnerships with XFEL and FAIR. Office hours reflect active engagement with academic and research activities at Fröbelstieg 3, Jena.
