The workshop, the fourth of a series that began in 2014, intends to gather the entire INFN community interested and involved in developing future detectors. This meeting offers a space for discussion to strengthen skills, following the European Strategy for Particle Physics recommendations. The detector research and development roadmap will be examined, taking into account new technologies, to prepare the next generations to face future challenges, in line with international strategies.
The aim in this edition of IFD is to compare perspectives on different experimental techniques, including innovations in terms of detector materials and infrastructures, without neglecting the topic of skill development. We would like to verify, through an in-depth discussion, the potential for collaboration and synergy between different R&D lines, promoting exchange with industry and other research centers and national structures.
The workshop will be dedicated to the various aspects of a field that has always been of great interest to the INFN. In each session, the discussion will be triggered by plenary presentations prepared by a group of experts in different fields, then ample space for discussion, adding short presentations in the "rapid-fire" style, as an opportunity to contribute ideas and suggestions - hopefully from part of young people - on each technology. The small expert groups will be ready to gather further suggestions from the community. We intend to leave ample space for discussion to analyze prospects and identify useful elements for planning the future.
