About
DAPHNE4NFDI (DAta from PHoton and Neutron Experiments) is building an open and FAIR infrastructure for research data management for research with photons at synchrotron light sources and neutrons. This is a diverse field of research, conducted in particular at large-scale research facilities. Photons at synchrotron radiation sources and neutrons allow unique insights into matter and biological, chemical and physical processes. With these, urgently needed techniques that solve society’s problems in a sustainable way can be developed. Research with photons and neutrons covers a very broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. There are more than 5500 scientists working directly in these fields all over Germany. Currently, data volumes of more than 30 petabytes are generated per year – and the trend is rising. The large volume of data poses a number of challenges: The data is often user-specific, a wide variety of software is used for analysis, and data cannot be easily exchanged. The vision of DAPHNE4NFDI is therefore to make the transparency, FAIRness, and reusability of data generated at photon and neutron facilities available to the broader research community. This goes beyond the individual group performing the measurement. In addition, there is a great need for rapid high-level data analysis or the use of reference spectra. The data should also be systematically stored, their quality verified, and thus they should be reusable. In this way, scientific work is made more efficient and an optimum amount of information and knowledge can be obtained from the data.
