The research and service facility LISA+ is one of the three Core Facilities within the infrastructure of the University of Tübingen. LISA+was founded in 2011 and originates from the intensive cooperation of several research groups for physics and chemistry, who are sharing the existing multi disciplinary Nanostructure and Analysis Laboratory.

Rosenau Accelerator: 3MV Van de Graaf, ion beams from H to C; neutron beams

RBS analysis.Underground Laboratory: shielding 16 mwe, ultra pure Ge spectrometer, dilution refrigerator (5 mK base temperature), SQUID read out array.

Dark Room Facility: PMT single-photon testing; scin-tillator testing; cryostat for optical characterization (scintillation, reflectivity, etc.) at low temperatures (down to 1.7 K); large volume (1 qm) liquid scintil-lator or water Cherenkov detector, 11 PMTs 8 inch

UNV deposition system for tungsten superconducting thin films. Custom fully-automated wafer prober, semi-auto-matic bonding station.
