Research and Technology Center for Detector Physics

Research into the structure of matter on the smallest length scales requires the development of ever more powerful detectors and accelerators. The Research and Technology Center for Detector Physics (FTD) provides its users with highly technical infrastructure and measurement laboratories for the development of modern detectors for experimental particle physics and beyond on an area of about 3000 square meters. At the FTD, scientists from the Institute of Physics (PI) and the Helmholtz Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics (HISKP) of the University of Bonn work on the latest detector technologies for the detection of radiation and particles.
