2. PoF IV – Matter and Technology
Analysis of Situation – HZDR perspective
ARD:
high quality of all HZDR activities
critical mass of HZDR in all its activities
highly synergetic with other centres
prospective future perspectives
DALI:
concept of a future infrastructure (2024)
R&D on different components
DTS:
general small activities
most activities scarcely detector-related
some activities running out (gas dets)
low synergetic effects
unclear future perspectives
 strengthen activities
transfer to more suitable environment(s)
