Release date- 25102023 - New high-tech measurement methods are required to detect new phenomena sought after in particle physics.
The University of Bonn Research and Technology Center for Detector Physics (FTD), thanks to its research groups, is a leading developer of such detector technology, employed at research institutions around the world. A ceremony was held for operational start-up of the scientific equipment, attended by numerous high-profile guests.

An initial ceremony roughly two years ago was held with North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister of Science and Research, attendance of which was limited due to the pandemic, but now the FTD actually commenced operation within the framework of a scientific symposium on 'Cutting-Edge Detector Technologies.' 'At today's symposium we saw in impressive fashion how we are very much on track in our efforts to make the FTD a leading location for detector physics in Europe and beyond. The FTD provides a state-of-the-art work environment for our researchers where they can closely collaborate with other major centers for particle physics around the world,' commented University of Bonn Rector Professor Michael Hoch.
At the start-up ceremony, high-profile international particle and hadron physicists had opportunity to learn about the new infrastructure while making new research contacts. Scientific lectures were also held as part of the symposium, and guests were given a tour of the FTD affording insights into the research and development work on particle detectors currently ongoing at the University of Bonn.
Professor Beate Heinemann, Director in charge of Particle Physics at DESY in Hamburg, commented: 'It's impossible to overstate the critical role of detectors in achieving future advances in the natural sciences.' University of Bonn research groups develop and build these detectors to conduct experiments at CERN, DESY and GSI/FAIR - the big European research institutions. Numerous partnerships are also maintained with universities and research labs around the globe.
'University of Bonn Physics is a major partner for CERN, making key contributions to our experiments and scientific program,' said Professor Joachim Mnich, Director for...
