German Electron Synchrotron (DESY)

The German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) is a major research facility located in Hamburg, Germany, primarily focused on particle physics and photon science. It produces intense beams of electrons that travel at nearly the speed of light, allowing scientists to explore the fundamental properties of matter. Researchers use these electron beams to generate X-rays and other radiation, which can be applied in various fields such as materials science, biology, and chemistry. DESY fosters international collaboration, hosting numerous scientists who conduct experiments to advance our understanding of the universe and develop new technologies.
