DESY

Also known as Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, German Electron Synchrotron

DESY, short for Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (English: German Electron Synchrotron), is a national research centre for fundamental science located in Hamburg and Zeuthen near Berlin in Germany. It operates particle accelerators used to investigate the structure, dynamics and function of matter, and conducts a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary scientific research in four main areas: particle and high energy physics; photon science; astroparticle physics; and the development, construction and operation of particle accelerators. Its name refers to its first project, an electron synchrotron.

DESY (del alemán "Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron"), o Sincrotrón Alemán de Electrones, es el mayor centro de investigación alemán de física de partículas, con sedes en Hamburgo y Berlín. Sus objetivos fundamentales son la investigación básica en física de partículas y la investigación con radiación de sincrotrón. Ha desarrollado y opera varios aceleradores de partículas: DORIS, PETRA, HASYLAB, HERA y FLASH. DESY está financiado por el estado alemán y es miembro de la Asociación Helmholtz de centros de investigación de Alemania. Fue fundado el 18 de diciembre de 1959 en Hamburgo mediante un tratado entre el ministro federal de energía atómica, Siegfried Balke, y el alcalde de Hamburgo, Max Brauer.
