60 years of DESY : 1959 - 2019 anniversary issue
When DESY was founded 60 years ago, the goal was clear: The new research centre was to explore the basic building blocks that make up our world and the forces acting between them. The tools needed for the task were quite sizeable: accelerators able to push tiny particles to close to the speed of light before making them collide with each other. The hopes placed in the new research centre were fulfilled, and over the decades, DESY’s accelerators have made numerous important discoveries. But particle accelerators are capable of more: They can also be used to produce the most brilliant X-rays in the world, providing insights into the structure of matter that cannot be achieved by any other means. Today, DESY is not only the national German laboratory for particle physics; it has also evolved into a leading international centre for research using X-rays. Meanwhile, scientists at DESY are already working on entirely new designs for compact particle accelerators for future applications. Moreover, researchers at DESY’s Zeuthen site are studying the gigantic natural particle accelerators found in space in order to better understand how our universe has evolved.
