Precision Physics, Fundamental Interactions and Structure of Matter (Cluster of Excellence)
The Standard Model of particle physics describes nature at its most fundamental level, in terms of the basic constituents of matter. Despite its success, it fails to explain phenomena such as the existence of dark matter or the abundance of matter over antimatter. In addition, several unexplained puzzles including, for instance, the discrepancy between the experimental value and theoretical prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, challenge the validity of the Standard Model and might provide first hints for “new physics”. The PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence makes unique contributions to the investigation of the deep open questions surrounding the validity of the Standard Model. PRIS…

True Bugs Collection (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)
A true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) collection at the University Opole contains several thousand specimens, including more than a hundred types representing mainly three families, i.e. Cydnidae (burrowing bugs), Tingidae (lace bugs) and Dinidoridae. The collection covers almost all zoogeographical regions of the World, but mostly concentrates on tropical Africa, Australia, the Oriental Region and the Palaearctics.

Depth profiles of hardening in lithium fluoride irradiated with swift58Ni ions
2004
The changes of hardness and dislocation formation in LiF crystals irradiated with 630-MeV 58Ni ions up to a dose of 20 MGy were studied by microindentation and dislocation etching techniques. Above the threshold fluence of 2 × 1010 ions/cm2, a marked effect of hardening, which is related mainly to damage processes in the track core, has been observed. Its magnitude depends on ion fluence and energy loss. To investigate the depth distribution of …
Museum of University of Opole
The idea of creating Muzeum Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, a space for storing, documenting, and exhibiting the mementoes, relics and works of art was initiated in 2012 by the Rector of the University, prof Stanisław Sławomir Nicieja. Being a biographical historian, and acting with the sense of responsibility for securing and preserving the heritage of the first institution of higher education in Opole, he decided to start storing the exhibits that testify to the scientific and cultural past of the university and can serve as data for new research and creative initiatives. There are three permanent exhibitions – one devoted to the history of the University – “Alma Mater Opoliensis”, the second to…

Baldone Observatory
Baldone Observatory - an object of national significance and the only base of professional optical astronomical observations in Latvia - is currently the basic structure of the Institute of Astronomy of the University of Latvia. The Schmidt Telescope, a unique large-field instrument, is the largest in the Baltics and the twelfth largest telescope of such a system in the world. The telescope is designed for both direct and spectral observations of celestial bodies. Baldone Observatory is the only professional observatory in Latvia, which deals with observations in the optical range.
A combined 148Gd/244Cm source for energy calibration of α-spectrometers
2005
For high-resolution alpha-particle spectroscopy, detector calibration sources of highest performance are required concerning thickness and homogeneity. In addition, the alpha-emitting radionuclides must have adequate half-lives and alpha-emission energies. This paper describes a new type of alpha-emitting calibration source, represented by a mixture of 148Gd and 244Cm. This system covers an alpha-energy range from 3.18 MeV (148Gd) to 5.76 and 5.…

Next generation water-smart management systems: large scale demonstrations for a circular economy and society
Water security is among the most crucial challenges for water management today. As a consequence, innovative water management solutions and alternative water resources are required. The EU-funded WATER-MINING project will exhibit and validate innovative next-generation water resource solutions at the pre-commercial demonstration-scale in accordance with relevant legislation, such as the Water Framework Directive, Circular Economy and EU Green Deal packages. It will combine water management services with the improvement of renewable resources such as mining water. It is envisaged that the value-added end products will offer supplies of regional resources to increase economic growth. The proj…

Historical coin collection
The collection of 61 cons dating back from late medieval times was discovered in Byczyna (Opole region) during archeological examinations of a cemetery near a local evangelical church of St Nicholas. The excavations were conducted in 2009-2014 and revealed 1087 graves in a regular pattern. The coins were connected to a ritual that required leaving a coin with a deceased body to ensure the passage to the other world. The 54 coins were precisely dated (the oldest dating to the 1330s and the newest to 1750s), with the remailing specimens too damaged to identify. They are described in academic and popular publications by dr. Magdalena Przysiężna-Pizarska
