Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.V. (FZD)

The research center Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD) conducts basic and applied research in the fields of structure of matter, life sciences as well as environment and safety. The FZD consists of five institutes:

• Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research,
  
• Institute of Bioinorganic and Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry,
  
• Institute of Nuclear and Hadron Physics,
  
• Institute of Safety Research,
  
• Institute of Radiochemistry.

The five institutes of the FZD also run unique facilities, which are accessible to cooperation partners from research and industry, too.

• AIM – Center for application of ion beams in materials research, European Ion Beam Centre at FZD
  

• ROBL – Rossendorf beam line at the ESRF in Grenoble/ France: Synchrotron radiation laboratory for materials research and radiochemistry at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF)
  

• Radionuclide laboratory for materials investigation as well as metallographic and mechanic test laboratories
  

• Radiation Source ELBE: superconducting electron accelerator for the production of intensive far-infrared-radiation by free electron lasers as well as x-rays, bremsstrahlung, positrons and neutrons
  

• TOPFLOW – Transient Two Phase Flow Test Facility: the thermo-hydraulic test facility serves for the research of stationary and transient phenomena in two phase flows
  

• Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (under construction): laboratory for very high, pulsed magnetic fields
