A synchrotron light source is a source of electromagnetic radiation usually produced by a storage ring, for scientific and technical purposes. First observed in synchrotrons, synchrotron light is now

DESY, short for Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, is a national research centre for fundamental science located in Hamburg and Zeuthen near Berlin in Germany. It operates particle accelerators used to

LINAC II and DESY II are electron pre-accelerators for the storage ring PETRA III, which, together with the free-electron laser FLASH, serves as a light source for photon science. Also shown is the European XFEL X-ray laser, which runs from the DESY campus to the town of Schenefeld in Schleswig-Holstein.
The superconducting resonators used in the linear accelerators of the free-electron laser FLASH and the European XFEL X-ray laser are processed and assembled in a cleanroom.
