DESY Detector Retreat

Monday 16 Jun 2025, 09:00 → 16:00 Europe/Berlin

XHV Special Exhibition (EuXFEL)

Heinz Graafsma (FS-DS (Detektorsysteme))

We are happy to invite you to the DESY Detector Retreat at EuXFEL.

State-of-the-art detectors are absolutely essential for frontier scientific research, and detector development is one of the pillars of the Helmholtz research field Matter. Within DESY, detectors are being developed for a variety of experiments in photon science, particle physics and astroparticle physics. Currently, DESY and Helmholtz are developing a strategy for detector development over the next decade (PoF-V).

 The goals of this retreat are as follows:

• Informing all detector scientists about the PoF-V strategy process
• Learning more about work in other DESY groups (and at the University of Hamburg and EuXFEL) with a poster session
• Gathering feedback from all scientists about their goals and potential areas of collaboration with other groups
• Discussing DESY's strategy for detectors, including identifying key objectives for the next decade and looking for ways to improve collaboration

Kindly register, if you intend to join in-person.
