Research Facilities at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf

Scientific research equipment of national and international importance is operated at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and as such the HZDR is coordinating member and partner of numerous collaborations and projects. The scientific facilities are equally available to external guest researchers from science and economy.

Access to HZDR user facilities

User Facilities

Radiation Source at the ELBE Cen­ter for High-Power Radiation Sources

The Radiation Source ELBE (Electron Linac for beams with high Brilliance and low Emittance) delivers multiple secondary beams, both elctromagnetic radiation and particles. The characteristics of these beams make ELBE an outstanding research instrument for external users as well as scientists of the HZDR.
Head: Dr. Andreas Wagner

High-power Laser-particle Acceleration

Lasers with petawatt peak power enable the development of advanced ultra-compact particle accelerators and light sources with applications ranging from cancer research to probing of ultrafast processes. Dedicated target areas are optimized for the investigation and application of relativistic laser-plasma processes by in-house and external researchers.
Head: Prof. Ulrich Schramm

Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory HLD

This laboratory focuses on modern materials research in high magnetic fields. In particular, electronic properties of metallic, semiconducting, superconducting, and magnetic materials are investigated. This way the High Magnetic Field Laboratory serves as a research facility for both in-house and user projects.

Head: Prof. Joachim Wosnitza
